In Mexico we notice a similar pattern but on common people. Apparently most Christians somehow believe they can do as they please in this planet. Then it doesn't matter the consequences (murder, burglary, greed, property destruction, etc.), all they need is attend their nearest church to being forgiven. This is mostly true for "converted" ones, those born under Christian religion usually don't behave like that.

Christian churches maintain by asking donations. They don't "force" followers, however they maintain a psychological pressure over them by faking higher donations in order to "converted" Christians feel the need to donate as much as possible too (group behavior). Hypocrisy is in the air around their churches after and before ceremonies, while you watch them hugging each other pretending they do not do bad and live in peace.

I don't have anything against Christians and its beliefs, but it still freaks me out when they start to talk about God. You talk normally to them, but at the very moment they touch the God topic, suddenly they raise voice. And whenever God is mentioned it has to be prefixed (and suffixed) by a good number of adjectives about how good and benevolent he is. I don't have anything else to think but "are you talking to me or did you just come to preach without asking?".

The problem is not religion itself, but to use a book as a shield to justify actions against others. If this is not proof religious leaders of any belief use these books to manipulate and do whatever they please, I don't know what other can tell.

If I didn't make myself clear I'll repeat again: "The problem is not Qur'an or The Bible". So as we can't encase all Muslims by Qur'an, we can't encase all bad actions of Christians (or similar derivations) because of The Bible.
