Christianity sure is unfashionable these days.
The media makes fun of Christians, hardly ever portraying them in a good light. Instead, they're shown to be hypocritical, judgemental, boring, and/or stupid. There are only a handful of kind, intelligent, three-dimensional Christian characters in the media who have been developed beyond these negative stereotypes.
Most people's thoughts and opinions directly arise from the mass media. That's why "religious" is considered a negative adjective these days....In the past, being called religious would have been a compliment, implying that someone is a good, honest person.
Once people find out I am "religious," they don't perceive me the same way anymore, because they judge me based upon the stereotypes. After I tell them I am a Christian, all of a sudden they think I'm crazy instead of cool. Following Christ makes me the odd one out in many situations.
