I know you were speaking from a U.S. citizens perspective, which is part of what I was responding to. Part of the reason that many people in other countries don't view the U.S. very well is because of the way Americans think. You see right there is one example, the U.S. is the only country that I know of on two continents with the name America to refer to itself as America, as if no other country in North or South America matters, because everyone should automatically assume that when someone from the U.S. says they are American, everyone will automatically know their reffering to the U.S.

Wha....?
The full name of the country is the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. What else are it's inhabitants suppose to refer to themselves as? North and South America are continents. Nobody refers to themselves are coming from a paticular continent instead of a paticular country.
It looks like you're trying to make a point about American arrogance, but that example is kinda fucked up.
Oh, and on-topic...
One main reason that many Non-Christians are openly antagonistic towards Christianity is because of the constant recruitment tactics. While Christianity is splintered into a thousand different interpretations, they are all actively trying to recruit new converts wherever they spread.
Even a simple request for people to read the bible can be viewed as a recruitment technique.
