To be fair though, Christians aren't the only ones to speak as if any right-thinking person will align with them. The most obvious example I've experienced is student protests about tuition fees etc., where the implication is that you're a traitor if you have any doubts about the leaders' point of view, or even question whether it's worth discussing the issues, as if the right position wasn't obvious.

Whether or not I agree with the Christian protesters, it's good to see that some people are as moved to action and concerned about insults to Jesus as others are about experiments on animals or nuclear weapons or social justice. And Christians do campaign on other issues too - you can't just criticise them for protesting about this when they should be protesting about other things, as if they don't. Maybe there should be more campaigning on social justice and less on Jerry Springer etc., but maybe the media should show more of what Christians are doing in these other areas too...
