"All kinds of people who think they know whats good for others lobbied for it, it wasn't only Christians."

Certainly. But it is the perception, right or wrong, that it was Christians. At any rate, you can't deny that Christians are a very vocal, or rather certain Christian groups are very vocal in lobbing the govenrment to enforce thier beliefs on others. That causes people to stereotype against Christians. Which was my original point.

So what? The NAACP, Mothers against Drunk Drivers and the Sierra Club also want to impose their beliefs on others.
And they succeed.

Do you *really* think we should discriminate against Christians and not let them participate in politics like the rest of America?

"That causes people to stereotype against Christians."

um, no, what causes people to stereotype others is hostility, bigotry, sloppy thinking and bad manners.

I can deny that they are anymore guilty than other groups.

Labor unions
Businesses
Farmers
Jews
Muslims
Legalization advocates
Gun control advocates
Gun rights people
ETC,ETC.

That causes people to stereotype against Christians.

There do so in error.
