Saying that they aren't true christians does undermine christianity as a religion since they are 1. being prideful by assuming that they and not god know what is truely christian outside of accepting jesus as ones personal savior and 2. if they are saying that someone is not christian even though they accept jesus as their savior, then they are undermining one of the core concepts of their own religion thus undermining the religion as a whole.
It isn't up to one christian to say wether not another is christian or not if they both accept jesus. Whatever the things are that one or the other disagrees with is not relavant since it is god and not them who will be judging that indivisual when they die.

No, the thing that undermines the idea of Christianity being a religion of love is the intolerance of certain fundamentalist Christian churches towards other religions, people of different interpretations of scripture and gay, lesbian and transgendered people.

What do you mean? I will deny that Mormons are Christians.They are not.Their teachings contradict the Bible.
Take,for example,Acts 7:11:
"Now the Bereans were of more noble character than the Thessalonians, for they received the message with great eagerness and examined the Scriptures every day to see if what Paul said was true."
I ,and many others,have examined Mormon beliefs,and they do not pass the test.
I am not about to love someone into hell.

No. It might undermine a particular sect's standing as a good Christian faith to attack other sects sincere belief in the Savior. But it does not undermine Christianity as a whole.

i think of a few human beings consult from faith as "brainwashing" because of the fact they in my opinion experience they have been inspired by skill of kinfolk and society (predominately from an early age) to have confidence in a faith they might not thoroughly have confidence in. consequently, those anybody is left with a feeling of being wrongly inspired by skill of the precise same human beings they have confidence. The term "brainwashing" is obviously an extremely damaging term to throw around, and could be incredibly of an over-exaggeration, yet human beings thus are oftentimes describing the term from a private point.

The Catholic Church has a broken connection with all other denominations. These accusations are saying that these other chruches are wrong about some tenet of the faith, not that can not be true Catholic.

You betcha Red Rider. What is worse they undermine the Hebrew Mother religion constantly and they divide their congregation with every bigotry they can figure out--just so they can feel bigger and better than others.

I love my brother..... he chose to marry someone whom i KNEW would make him miserable because i had seen her 'in action' and knew that his life would change.... I told him out of love that he would regret this decision and she had made awful comments about his family... but he made the wrong decision.. and a year later, went thru divorce...
he said, why didnt you tell me! I said, i did... i love you enough to tell you the truth even if you do not like it... and i love you enough that even when you make wrong decisions, to stick by you and support you and help you thru it...
that is Christian love.. you share what you can... and pray that people will make right decisions.... but we cannot make those decisions for people... yet, we still love them.... and pray for them....

Christianity is the following of Jesus as our Lord and Savior and the belief that He is the only begotten Son of God. Acceptance of any other way to God other than Jesus, is not Christianity.
God loves us so much that He sacrificed His beloved, only begotten Son's life for us. If we don't accept Him. This is not love.
When we love and obey God with all of our hearts, souls and minds and love other people as ourselves, This is Christian love.

No, it just means that people can get really really arrogant.
