The watered down and misdirected Christianity in the States is one of the reasons this instance and many people in general are so hostile to Christians. It goes back further though. Even the violence of the medieval periods where Catholics were converting nations at the edge of a sword. Orthodoxy has by and large spread peacefully and embraces the Christ in the native cultures (as opposed to being monolithically Roman) which is why there are many different jurisdictions for the different nations of people. The Aleut people of Alaska are a great example of what I mentioned above.

All Christians are hypocrites that fall short of Christ but only Orthodoxy teaches the religion of the apostles in it's fullness especially in regard to Christology and sotieriology.
