Many Christians are just as arrogant and their beliefs justify discriminating against many people but because Christianity is so much a norm in Western culture, it's hard for me to imagine most Christians trying to shock people with something that threatens a comforting worldview that they take solace in. In the West, Christianity is normal, so whether you ascribe to it or not, it's not 'shocking'. Christians might disregard the feelings of others (especially those who don't genuinely believe their religious views are accurate and that they really are helping people by persuading them to Christianity but claim them for cultural or personal reasons alone) but I don't think they're intentionally trying to offend people and then turning around in surprise that that they meet the opposition they do. I probably was being one sided, you have a point when it comes to those 'god hates fags' cults.

If you want to promote religion, atheism, separation of church and state etc., diplomacy is the most effective means.

christianity is not a norm. and because of the forgery at the end of the gospel of mark that requires spreading the gospel evangelical diplomacy is an oxymoron.
