Many religious believers have excellent reputations, but there must always be exceptions.

A quite common reason for a poor reputation is hypocrisy. Some religious believers adopt a 'holier-than-thou' attitude and yet it is often the same ones who turn out to have skeletons in the cupboard.


Another common reason for a poor reputation is the tendency of some to preach or to push forward the fact that they are religious. The majority of non-religious people just want to get on with their lives, without having to defend their lack of belief or even pretend to be religious for the sake of peace.



If you're asking about stereotyping and generalising, the answer is chauvinism. In some cases, perhaps also jealousy and a feeling of inferiority.
