Insult Christianity, and the Christians just shake their heads.
First, when it's like that (and it isn't everywhere like that) this is
quite new. And when things have changed in the past few hundred years,
this was not because Christianity has gotton more reasonable, but
because its role in society has been sidelined to a very large degree
(and the Christians didn't like that at all, mostly). There are more
than enough Christians totally willing to remove the head of someone who
insulted Christianity if they'd get away with it. Has happened in the
past more than once...
Nowadays Christians wait for God to send a hurricane, earthquake, or
tidal wave to destroy the impious.
One never realized there were that many impious around until recently.
Or that impious people tend to live on seacoasts and fault zones.
But Christianity is a tolerant and rational religion:
