It's likely there are other social dynamics going on here that may have little to do with Christian ideology, for example displaying loyalty to one's perceived group (Christian identity may be only one of its characteristics), feelings of antipathy towards outsiders, and publicly establishing social distance from someone who's been ostracized in order to bolster one's status.
