I think history would generally disagree with you, Christians have been the driving force behind a lot of bigotry and hate. In the 70s alone they opposed abortion, same sex and same race marriage, banning rock and blues music, satanic panic, etc. The Christian community as a whole can be traced back to years and years of bigotry, and efforts to make their religious ideals the public standard.
There are many well-intentioned Christians, most actual Christians (idk about Easter-Christians) probably are. And there are many beautiful things that Christians and some churches do for their community. The institution they belong to wants to set the moral standard for everyone else, though, which has always entailed oppression of some form. I grew up Christian, and I have seen the good and the bad first-hand. While I am always overjoyed for the good things I see from the Christian church, they don't balance against the bad for me.
