We aren't the ones that tend to blow things up if you paint a cartoon of our God.
No, but, in general, Christians seem to get defensive if their beliefs are questioned in any way. There seems to be a perpetual need to be "right" with Christian doctrine. That leads to proselytizing, because all believers in other faiths must then, of necessity, be "wrong".

I'm not sure if that's the same thing as being "sensitive", but OP can clarify.
I don't think Christians are nessasaraly more sensitive that other religions, I think most religions have people who are very sensitive to other beliefs that go against theirs. The Abrahamic religions also seem to be more prone to this that other religions.
Of the two places I have lived, since Christianity is the majority in the US, their sensitivity is more obvious here both from individuals and as a collecting political lobby.
I'd say the situation is less intense in the UK, where there is very little religious political lobby and people are more welcoming of other religions and of atheists. Not a utopia by any measure, but better than the US, which is ironic given the the UK has an official state religion unlike the US
All those who are providing extreme examples from non Christians to disprove the OP should then looknat the most extreme examp les from Christains within their own cou ntry then
1 Christians marching dowb th e street chanting "Jews will not replace us"
Christaibs opposi ng the use of Yoga to dea l with problems in a school because it is from the devil
3 Christian s staring that Muslims should not ne in the Hoyse of Representativex
4 or that M uslims are not Americans nor are those who are from Asia.
5 Christians walking out from the p rayer opening of a meeting because it was delivered by a non Christian
6 Christian preacher burning a copy of t he Quranh
7 Christian stating on his radio shos that atheists are parasites and do no good for their country.
Now most peolle will agree that these ars extreme views by a small humber of Christians but is that not the same as what happened by Muslim extremists.
Forgot to add rhe Ann Colter, a Christian wanted your army to convert the Iraqis to Christainity. And yet the Deputy PM ofIraq at thevtinevwas Christian.
And some ofvthe same posters who defended Christians in this thread have also attacked atheists posters for the words or actionz of some atheists.
I could of as easily listed examples of those of other religions, ethnic groups or of atheists doing extremists things to. But i listed only Christians doing that as a response to posters like MysticPHd and BaptistFundie who used Muslim extremists to show that Christians are not the most sensitivs.
Your childish game and predictable misrepresentation is political (yes, we know where you are going), and promoting hatred of atheists.
I just noted "truth" and "facts" about "The Way of the World"...relative to "sensitivity", as respects Religion and The Religious.
I thought y'all were into "facts" & "truth"?

The fact that all of those things are ALLOWED in a country that is majority Christian, or has historically been majority Christian says more than you suggesting that these things are representative of the whole.
Seriously. This is not the government doing it. It's a few bad people doing it. Our government allows those groups to exist that are being attacked. Now go and try to be an opposition group in a country that is controlled by another religion. Tell me how it works out.

So sorry...afraid you have facts mixed up...not, "promoting the hatred of Atheists"..."noting the hatred (rooted in "sensitivity" about Religion & The Religious) BY Atheists".
There ya go...now you have the "facts" & "truth" straight.
