No it isn't. It is nothing of the kind. From the cradle I was taught to respect people of other faiths and with a very few exceptions, mainly religous wackos in fringe sects I met in Northern Ireland, every Christian I've ever met had the same view. Catholic doctrine on the subject is very clear: there are many paths to God and if you lead a virtuous life you go to heaven and if you don't, regardless of your faith, you don't.
It is very annoying the way American atheist zealots try and paint the cancer of evangelism in their country as somehow representative of Christianity. That's an American problem, not a religous one. Christians like that are 0.1% of the population in the rest of the civilized world.
Maybe listen to someone like THE ****ING POPE, you know someone with an actual following, for a more balanced view on the subject, than Jebediah the bigot in backwardville.
