I remember when I was in college I saw some people go "preaching" on campus. They were very confrontational, the typical "you're all going to hell" types. Turns out the friend I was with lived on campus long enough to know that those were actual professors, running some kind of "experiment" on the students.
The funny part is after going full Christianity, I have never actually met a Christian who was all "you're going to hell", they all preach that we're sinners, nobody's perfect, and you should try better and never be scared to ask for help. The "insane" Christians these people have always talked about ended up being their own projection.
I've done some street and campus preaching type stuff (legitimately, not as a weird experiment) and I've never met one of the "you're all going to burn!" types. Typically its just "hey, mind if I pray for you?" and with a negative response the followup is "OK, no problem, have a good day".
The crazies they use as an example always end up being th Westboro Baptist Church. One extreme minority whose worst thing is picketing funerals.
Or there's that woman who harasses people on youtube "I'm trying to help you motherfocker"
