I dunno. I grew up in a Christianity, and in my experience the reason most Christians are so aggressive and seemingly hateful against other beliefs and religions is because they're so afraid of hell. I don't deny that there are hate and superiority complexes involved--and often their reactions are extremely ignorant, obviously--but I think more often than not, it's not genuinely hateful, but out of fear for the other person. It can be incredibly blinding when that's all you know.
But I know my share of Christians who are just plain hateful and unwilling to think, so that exists too.
