Yes.
If all someone knows about me is that I am a Christian...
Then they will make assumptions about me based on all the other Christians they have known.
Do you recall what Gandhi said about that?
Mahatma Gandhi is often quoted as saying, "I like your Christ, I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike your Christ," which reflects his criticism of the behavior of some Christians compared to the teachings of Jesus. This quote is frequently used to highlight perceived hypocrisy within Christianity.

So was Gandhi speaking about you as well, even though you may have only been a twinkle in your old man's eye?
LOL
I get along great with unbelievers. I was inspired by this scripture long ago.
Luke 2:52 NIV
And Jesus grew in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and man.

Here's another one. This is what the church should look like.
Unfortunately, we have failed miserably.
Acts 2:46-47 NIV
Every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts.
They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts,
47 praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people.
And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved.

So now you are going to infer that we should NOT treat The Bible as The Living Word of God??
Deut 8:3
3 And he humbled thee, and suffered thee to hunger, and fed thee with manna, which thou knewest not, neither did thy fathers know; that he might make thee know that man doth not live by bread only, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of the LORD doth man live.
KJV
Matt 4:4
4 But He answered and said, "It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God."
KJV
That is Lord Jesus Christ speaking above in that Matthew 4:4 verse.
2 Peter 1:19-21
19 We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts:
20 Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation.
21 For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.
KJV
Those who listen to men who debase The written Word of God don't know the difference between their backsides and a hole in the ground. Only a fool would listen to them.
