Well I think differently.
and based on my experiences with Christians, I'd have to say that many of them are smug little "I'm better than you are" junkies
Of course that isn't all of them
But you only need to watch and listen to any TV evangelist to see what some of them "think" of people who don't believe the same
I recommend watching them with the sound off though, and playing Black Sabbath or Jethro Tull really loud
very funny

Or read some of the writing by "Christians" on SI
I will point out again it isn't only Christians- it is most religious "clubs"- and political ones too, come to that- it is almost impossible to resist demonizing the opposition, calling them names, suggesting they are idiots, or worse, it is a very base and clearly wide spread human desire- this is denigration Gao. Perhaps you have been on SI too long to recognize it anymore.

edit- I bolded the above because people are ALWAYS saying I'm antiChristian, which I'm not. I am actually anti groups- of all kinds, including groups I happen to somewhat agree with. I don't like group think- I prefer originality. I find groups extremely boring.
