Exactly. They claim to be Christians. That doesn't mean that they are Christians. I can claim to be a Martian but that doesn't make it so.
I want to see your spaceship, omg!

Real Christians who know and believe the Bible and strive to become Christ-like do not join terrorist organizations or commit terrorist acts.
Would you agree, then, that
real Muslims, Buddhists, Wiccans, Shintoists, Taoists, Hindus, Jews et al would not join terrorist organisations? None of those religions have scripture which condones terrorist acts. This is a question rather than an accusation--Answer it however you wish (or don't).

Please tell me who it is you think that I hate and am bigotted against.
Gay people? The above question would clarify any religious biases you may have rather neatly.

I don't listen to any of the above on a regular basis, other than what I have seen or heard recently on the news, so you will have to tell me about their "hateful" statements. James Dobson tends to be too ecumenical and liberal for me but I don't recall hearing him say anything hateful. I know that Falwell and Robertson make controversial political statements. I don't know much about Benedict XVI; I don't follow Catholic news. I haven't heard anything on the news about him making "hateful" statements.
"For more than 40 years, the homosexual activist movement has sought to implement a master plan that has had as its centerpiece the utter destruction of the family. ...Those goals include universal acceptance of the gay lifestyle, discrediting of Scriptures that condemn homosexuality, muzzling of the clergy and Christian media, granting of special privileges and rights in the law, overturning laws prohibiting pedophilia, indoctrinating children and future generations through public education, and securing all the legal benefits of marriage for any two or more people who claim to have homosexual tendencies." -- James Dobson
Liberal? Doubt it. Hateful? Definately.

It is really sad that you have such a negative outlook.
I don't have a negative outlook. I just dislike Christianity. There's a big difference between the two.

I don't watch televangelists; in fact, I blocked those cable channels on my TV.
Good for you. Join the club.
