I think it's a lot more normal for Christians to treat people of different or no faiths like human beings, than you guys give King and I credit for (though thank you still for the kind words). Sure, there are definitely Christians out there who are bigoted against non Christians, and that's awful, but I don't think that's the normal majority behavior. I've hung out with Catholics and in Catholic circles a lot growing up and I never witnesses or sensed bigotry from them towards the nons. If they did, I can only imagine they'd get a quick correction from another one of us.
Most people in the US are Christian, the thing is you just don't really make a note of it unless they are loud Christians. And it's the loud ones that tend to be condescending to the non faithful.
That has been my experience anyway, and I grew up in the Midwest. Perhaps things are different in the South or something or in other parts of the country?

"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
