The question got lots of answers but isn't worth a res ponce actually. Sounds like you are trying to justify being lost.

Yes and no. Some do and some don't. We always run into trouble when we try to characterize an entire group using the actions of some of its members. Are some conservative Muslims terrorists? Yes, but the majority are not. Are some American southerners racist? Yes, but the majority are not.
Questions like this are a huge problem here on Yahoo Answers. There are too many questions that start something like, "Why do (insert Christians, or Jews, or Muslims, or Athiests, or Catholics or Baptists) do something or not do something. The world is simply not simple enough to allow questions like that to be answered in a way that actually represents reality.

A true Christian does not act superior. S/he acts humble. Anyone who acts superior to others based on his/her beliefs is not a true Christian and needs to haul out their bible and go through it again. And then ask forgiveness.
Remember, Jesus chose to walk with sinners, feed the poor, heal the sick and amoung his travelling companions were a tax collector (one of the most dishonest and hated people at that time) a prostitute (the world's oldest profession) and fishermen. He chose not to hang out with the high and mighty. That was part of his undoing but he didn't care. A good Christian doesn't care either.

Rom 3:23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
All includes everyone. No superiority here.
Here is how Jamieson,Faussett & Brown commentary describes it.
Though men differ greatly in the nature and extent of their sinfulness, there is absolutely no difference between the best and the worst of men, in the fact that “all have sinned,” and so underlie the wrath of God.
So again no superiority.

Non Christians brow beat Christians by saying things like this.
it is a crutch to feel superior.
The mirror reflects right on back.

Yes. Many have a valse ego of superiority based on how they think when true superiority comes when how one behaves.
They want to be right. Those who truly walk the teachings of Jesus try to do right instead.

No. Some do, but the aim is supposed to be to educate others. Christians believe in eternal lives for our souls. God and Jesus want us to educate others in their teachings--to bring more souls to God, so to speak. Christians are not supposed to be "puffed up" according to God, so the next time one of them acts superior to you, tell them that God doesn't like their behavior! That should take them down a peg or two! Then tell them you will pray for them.

Al religions have people like that. Ever met a fundamentalist Muslim who thinks every person who is not Muslim must die? It's up to the individual worshipper to realize that he or she is not any better than anyone else.

Some, not all. That's stereotyping. Most Christians are really sweat, kind, and loving. others are the kind of people you want to throw off a cliff.
