There are just so *many* Christians in America that the relatively small percentage who are over the top are enough to be a regular annoyance to some of us who don't share their faith.

Most cultural Christians don't even notice it, you are sensitized to something that's more or less ubiquitous and yeah I notice it too, they are anything but subtle and particularly so when they think they are trying to be subtle.
