I've heard the accusation of arrogance and offensiveness several times. "Isn't it arrogant to claim that you're right and the people who disagree with you are wrong?" So I decided it was time to address this. Is it arrogant to claim that your religion is true and someone else's is false? It may not be politically correct, but it is logical.
It's logically impossible for both an atheist and me to be correct! Either there is a God or there isn't! Or Christianity vs. Hinduism - there cannot both be one and only God and several gods! Or Islam vs. Buddhism, or Judaism vs. Catholicism - it cannot all be correct! If we are all incorrect about only we being correct, then only the Unitarians are correct, but they can't be the only ones correct, because that's arrogant!
You see, truth doesn't worry about political correctness, or "arrogance," or anything of the sort. It's jargon. It's completely irrelevant. All that matters is "true" or "false." I know where I stand, people with other worldviews know where they stand, and someday we'll know who's right.
