Why do nontheists distrust people of faith?

Why do nontheists have a difficult time trusting Christians and other people of faith? Simply because if a person is willing to compromise their logic and believe in ancient or newer mythology then what else will this person be willing to compromise?

Christian lackeys are quick to approve of institutionalized homophobia, bigotry, sexism and intolerance. Or as Anne Lammott put it, "You can safely assume that you've created God in your own image when it turns out that God hates all the same people you do."
