Never been to Europe to know what it's like, but here in the US we have a very large variety of Christians, of all types. Ultra liberal Christians, ultra conservative Christians, Christians who are complete A-holes, Christians who are amazing people, Christians who try to shove their beliefs down your throat, Christians who live and let live... etc etc. You get the point. We come in all shapes and sizes over here. Of course, it's the extreme ones that you hear about because they're the ones making a scene.
"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."
