I doubt that is is very effective. It certainly doesn't work on me.
I get perplexed when confronted with arrogance or some that insist their particular belief or “opinion” is presented as fact, truth, and history when it is clearly not the case and then I am accused of being malformed by some skeptical liberal non-believing mind set and told I am personally rejecting God, light and their “holy” words. Sometimes we are even threated with hell.
But I can't say all Christians present themselves in this manner. I know many “good” Christians as well as other faith that are warm sincere people where their religion looks good on them.
Religion has a function or it wouldn't still be parts of our culture but at times it does seem to extend beyond their reasonable boundaries.
