Why do people say Christians can't be liberal?

Heard this thing from multiple people so I'm just wondering.

I'm very liberal and I'm also very Christian too. I'm just wondering why a lot of people think Jose two things aren't compatible.

I can think of two reasons: 1) anti-liberal Christians make a lot of noise about it and make themselves the most noticeable Christians; 2) for those liberals who are also non-religious or anti-religious for whatever reason, it's simple and convenient to lump everybody they disagree with together.

Other groups have the same issue. People think all Jews have beards and sidelocks (at least the male ones) and are gung-ho about Israel (actually those characteristics rarely go together, not to mention all the Jews who don't fit either stereotype), that all Muslims are militant jihadists, and so on.
