Let me try to make some sense of these results.
If I'm a gay or transgendered individual living in the USA, who is more likely to hurt me - a Christian or a Muslim? Sure, the Muslim's religious beliefs may be more explicit in their hatred towards me, but there are a lot more Christians. It's not the Muslims who are in congress and statehouses across the country trying to make my life harder and push discriminatory bills. It's not the Muslims demanding that their religious beliefs be taught to my children.
Thunderf00t had a great video on this that I probably shouldn't link here. Functionally, ISIS, Al Qaeda, and the like? All their fanaticism does not add up to a credible threat. If we had their dogged fanaticism, we could wipe the middle east off the map in a matter of days. The very best they can do is the occasional mass murder, and while that is a tragedy, they are few and far between, and have killed fewer people in the last 10 years in the USA than cows have. If we had more muslims, or if their attacks were more frequent and more capable, then I'm sure this poll would skew quite a bit harder, but at the moment, it's really not hard to understand why many people see Christianity as a larger threat.
