When Christians earn their reputation for being jerks it is not because they are living contrary to their beliefs. Christianity itself is the problem.[via Leaving Munster]
In short, I think that there are possibly 5 factors that contribute:
1) The Power legacy of Christendom
2) The doctrine of justification by faith alone
3) A particular understanding of the nature and function of Scripture
4) A combination of missionary zeal and a modernist and foundationalist understanding of truth
5) Christianity-centric understanding of Church and the Kingdom of God
