Christians opposed to negative facts about their religion?

It's of no surprise that honest people know that christianty doesn't have a pure history. Much of it is filled with violence and things that, let's be honest, isn't befitting an 'all loving god', like many christians proclaim they worship.
Even in modern times, much of proposed christianity is filled with favoritism, racism, anti-gay, anti-trans, anti-anything-that's-not-straight-and-white... oh and let's not forget the ongoing child molestations.
That's not to say christianity hasn't done some good things: feeding the hungry, helping those less fortunate....um....well, you get the idea.

Many times, it seems christians are quick to accept accolades for these 'good' things, yet shy away from the bad things, even when they're factually true (thin skins, perhaps - I'm reminded of a recent TV commercial in The States (link below)).

Christians cry 'foul' when facts and opinions are presented in any way the show their chosen belief system as less that 'stellar'. They cry 'uncivil' or 'unfair' or simply ignore these bad things. Sometimes, certain groups actively try to 'erase history' to 'cover their sins', as it were.

For discussion:
Why is it that christians shy away from the negativity of their past? Or even their current, real time culture? Why can't christains accept responsibility for what's been done and work to prevent it, instead of passing laws and supporting politicians for, it seems, other laws that benefit only them? Why can't christians take a stand and say NO MORE CHILD MOLESTING IN OUR CHURCHES?
Or is this apparent fearful, tale-tucked thinking something that's a learned behavior from their cloud riding magician in the sky and thus, 'not their fault'?
Or, perhaps, are christians taking stand for all these 'bad' things and fighting the good fight, but we just don't see it because, well.....SATAN?
