Where's the voice of the majority of sane Christians?

[Cyrano]

I don't have any polls to prove it, but I believe that the vast majority of Christians in America are not the insanity-peddling, political hucksters we see on television and in the "news."

Wikipedia indicates that about 50% of Americans are Protestants and about 25% are Catholics. We all have neighbors, coworkers, and friends who are Protestant or Catholic. And we also know that most of them are rational and sane.

So why don't we ever hear from them in the "news" or on TV? Why don't we hear them speaking out against the lunatic fringe that has claimed "ownership" of Christianity and are perverting our politics and our society? Are the sane being intentionally silenced the way that most voices of reason have been silenced in our society? And by "silenced," I mean being ignored by the media.

The majority of pastors and priests in America have some influence on the beliefs of their parishioners. Are they speaking up? Are they warning of the dangers posed by those who wrap themselves in a cloak of deceit and call it Christianity?

I'm an agnostic, so obviously I don't go to church. But perhaps those of you who do can enlighten me. And to repeat my question, why are the majority of sane Christians not speaking out against the lunatic fringe that seems to have stolen the word "Christianity?"
