...why would they want the scorn of the world brought to bear on their less-fanatical believers.

I'm convinced that there's something entirely different going on.

Do the Christian bigots and haters who use the Bible as cover when they go after abortion clinics pray and read the bible in the privacy of their own home?

I rather doubt that they do. I rather think that they have to work really hard to ignore the bulk of the teachings of the faith and, in the end, have no faith.

Hatred leaves no room for faith, no room for love or compassion.
