Religious people are so much judgemental. I would not advice anyone to go to Church if they are not prepared to be judged and criticized. That is the bad side of religion: intolerance and suspicion.

This is not true in general and definitely not true about true Christians who are specifically taught not to be judgmental. However churches are full of all kinds of mere humans learning how to be Christians. We don't kick any of them out. :)

Depends on the church. There are plenty out there full of people just trying to do their best. Of course, there are others who are all about hellfire and brimstone and condemning anyone different (fortunately, my church is the welcoming, friendly type, not the other type.)
Jesus taught tolerance and love. It's a shame that anyone who calls themselves a Christian would have any other attitude towards anyone.
