To answer the OP's question, I think the reason is based on interpretation of some bible passage - maybe something related to "dominion over the animals" (which puts "man" into superior position) - I think there is also something that compels them to proselytize - and there is the bit about being "the first church" (Catholic) - so having a superiority complex is ingrained in the religion.
They actually think it's their duty to "save" others (hence the horrible missionary intrusions and abuses on indigenous cultures).
It's gotten to the point that mother earth is in an SOS stage and we are all ignoring her pleas to get along with each other as a human race.
You should provide some evidence of that rather than just make an unvalidated statement.

What does "ostraichize" mean?
And why do you believe you are correct in using a blanket statement of "Christians", implying all Christians do this thing?

So did Christians cause you to post this nonsensical, blanket condemnation of Christians?
What's most interesting is that the OP in one thread (on the Christian subforum) attempts to argue as and pose himself as a Christian, and then in this one he's talking about Christians externally to him. He can't be taken seriously with such games and shenanigans.
As with anything, what's done in the dark will get exposed for all to see. Some posters are only here to stir the pot and whip up animosity, not to seriously discuss anything. They'll take one side and throw out nonsense, lighting fires, than switch sides and try the same tactics. It's easy to review all posts from any poster, and see when there are flagrant inconsistencies.

Well since you are talking about Earth...and who's on top & who's beneath them.
Look at it as an election: There are thousands of candidates...and one takes a third of the vote!
So...they (Christianity) are "On Top" and all the others are "beneath" them.
See...all others are "beneath" The Champ. And Christianity is The Champion Theological Concept...and has been for over a thousand years.
That's just "The Way the World Works"...and unless you wanna live in constant angst, you will hafta learn to cope.
So...there ya go.

Well, some people might believe that theory, but it doesn't make it true. "Superiority" doesn't necessarily consist of having the greatest numbers.

"Superior" is subjective.
"Rank", "position in the 'theological pecking order' of the world", known "mojo", etc...is easier to quantify.
I didn't make the world the way it is in that regard relative to Christianity...I am just aware of it.
It is what it is. What anyone may think about that, notwithstanding.
Islam is running a close 2nd...and gaining.
