Yes, I think reality and realism can be harmful to Christians who find it hard to even grasp the concept. Reality is based on logic and Christianity is based on blind faith. As it was proven in the past, religious believers suffer from an acute neurological disorder, which hinders the reasoning process in their brains. Hence, irrational behaviors occur, like wars in Iraq and the ordered destruction of the electric car.

Seeing the world for the way that it really is does not threaten Chrisitanity in the least.
Arrogant, egocentric pseudo-intellectuals who see things for how they want to see them are a threat to everyone for these are the ones who will truly move to force their belief systems down your throat all the while screaming "I'm smart and you're stupid as evidenced by your not believing exactly what I believe."
Claiming something to be true does not make it so no matter how loudly you scream or how many names you call those who think differently than you. And yes, I'm fully aware that these shoes can be worn on both sides of the issue.

Realism is necessary to Christianity.
You may not be Catholic, but, to illustrate, let me just tell you that the previous Pope (John Paul II) was worried about members turning to Eastern religions that deny reality. The world is a gift from God. We are supposed to be stewards of this world. The world as you see it is a reflection of our actions in it. Reality should guide us in our efforts to be like Christ.
That said, we are not bound by "what is"; we can also aspire to create "what can be." We may strive for more: all that is possible, like justice, peace and unity in the world.
[If you believe this. All due respect to all religions and to atheists.]

Realism helps to sift what is fact and what is not to christianity. Since Christianity is supposied t be based on love, truth, honesty, it should help uncover the real christianity, and what being a christian means to one who calls himself christian. It should define it more.

I think it threatens, as all there is, is an ancient, unverifiable text to "prove" their points. If this text is not recognized as truth or reality, then the people they try to convert are not going to be willling to listen, so it makes Christians sound loony...I like your beer!
