Yes. No one wants to think of himself as evil. A lot of the most hate-filled people call themselves Christians. "But there's a good reason we hate [name group]!" Or even "I don't hate them!!! I'm a Christian! I love them. I just want them to not have any human rights until they're just like me!" Followed by nonsense that makes them feel better about themselves for treating someone different from them as if they are subhuman.
