Everyone loves a "good" man

Everyone loves a "good" man. Even the most evil tyrant loves to have a loyal and honest follower. Loyal and honest to him only, but cruel and cunning to others. Company likes loyal and honest employees, as long as they do not tell everyone the bad things that happen in their companies too honestly to outsiders. Countries love to have honest and loyal citizens. Nobody likes traitors.
Christians are loyal and honest to God, who is the highest authority. This is not popular. Many leaders or organisation want the loyalty to be directed at themselves, not someone else. Thus some countries find Christians unwelcome, even when they are loyal and honest, because they are loyal to another Authority which may be a competitor to the state, especially when the state is not good.
