When young people look to examples of religion, what do they see? Do they see quiet Christians who go about their life and try to love their neighbor as they love themselves? Or do they see the crass and bombastic Evangelicals trying to turn the US into a theocracy?

Who is the face of Christianity in the US?

Is it the meek and humble believer trying to make the world a better place? Or is it loud-mouthed unapologetic bigots like Mike Huckabee, Ted Cruz and Rick Santorum?
