Jews with any degree of religious practice generally feel very nervous when rituals resemble idolatry. This includes bowing before statues or lighting candles before statues. So, lighting a candle in front of a statue of the Virgin or genuflecting in front of a Crucifix are off-putting. Any prayer that implies that worship is directed to a person as opposed to God is troublesome, including such things as the "In Jesus' name, Amen," that ends just about every Christian prayer. Some Christians make a big thing out of trying to say God's true name, using words like Jehovah or more modern and possibly more accurate guesses as to how it should be pronounced. Jews never pronounce the name, at all, and generally feel nervous around those who do. Add to this the cultural baggage from 2000 years of Christian missionary activity, some conducted at sword point, and you can see good reason to feel less than welcome.
