Yeah. I regularly attend multiple churches. There are a few bad eggs, sure, but 99% of people I talk to there are either lovely people or normal people. Same goes for workplaces as well. I don't see Churches as being worse than any other environment I've been in. But when assholes are Christians, they weaponise the Bible to justify being an asshole. If anything I think Christians in general should be more vocal about things happening in churches that are not okay, but there may be a concern of causing division in an otherwise wholesome atmosphere.

I have a close friend who converted to Christianity, and they said that a fault they observe in Christians can be that they're too nice and too vulnerable, to the point that people can get away with not very nice things.

I think Atheism gets a bad rap these days also. I'm sure most atheists are lovely people, but the people who make it known that they're atheists, or make it their whole personality, are not.
