I don't think "ALL CHRISTIANS ARE SHIT AND EVIL!" but they are the group most vocally opposed to openmindedness and civil liberties for gays, minorities, science and sex education and are generally in favor of some censorship to "preserve (their idea of) morals"
Ilike Christians: I like their moral structure and the ideal of turning the other cheek and being thy brother's keeper- I just wish they'd follow it themselves occasionally.
As to the "religous right" subset, those are usually (from my observances) southern Baptists that cater to "old southern thinking" -think of old good ol' boys and their offspring.

Well, they've ruled most of the Western world for over a thousand years. Of course they're going to be vocal about letting that power slip. I mean, who else is going to complain? The Jews? They spent as long being persecuted as the Christians spent in power. The Muslims? Most of the ones who live here probably wouldn't unless they were looking for a place with less persecution. And even those two religions are vastly outweighed by the Christian population. No other religion even has enough people here to make much of an impression.
