Interesting: UnChristian: What a New Generation Really Thinks About Christianity is a book written for a Christian audience that interviewed "...440 non-Christians and 305 active churchgoers", although that breakdown makes me want to investigate their notion of what "non-Christians" really means. Interestingly, though, according to this article on the book:
The vast majority of non-Christians - 91 percent - said Christianity had an anti-gay image, followed by 87 percent who said it was judgmental and 85 percent who said it was hypocritical.
Such views were held by smaller percentages of the active churchgoers, but the faith still did not fare well: 80 percent agreed with the anti-gay label, 52 percent said Christianity is judgmental, and 47 percent declared it hypocritical.
The article is worth reading, the book may be too. Now if we can get a publisher to tackle Islam in the same light...
