I have a best friend who is very religious and she is the kindest, sweetest person ever. I know she's waiting until she gets married to have sex, but she doesn't look down on those of us who aren't waiting. She goes to church on a regular basis, but doesn't harp on us if we don't go. I have NEVER heard her say a bad thing about gay people or pro-choicers.
She is very religious, and yet she doesn't shove it in anyone's face. She lets her religion shine by itself, I don't even know when she told me she was Christian. It's like I just subtley became aware of it.
I think people like her are in the majority.
We notice the vocal, fanatical ones because people like my friend are so quiet and subtle about how they live their lives according to their beliefs.
Perhaps you're in an area where there are a lot of assholes, but that's certainly not the case with my peers. We're pretty hesitant to push ANY beliefs on another person, especially religion.
