I know some christians feel attacked. I don't think they are a majority. Certainly there are some belligerent opponents of christianity, but there are probably just as many belligerent christian vocal opponents of secularism. Both are fringe elements of their respective groups. The difference in my mind is that currently, most shrill vocal opponents of christianity don't find themselves with nearly as much power as do christian evangelicals/fundamentalists.
Do you think that christianity itself is threatened, or do you just think the government imposition of conservative christian morality and the public display of christian paraphernalia are under attack? This is an important distinction. I could only guess that any ancient roman christian hanging out of your average ancient roman lion's mouth would get a hearty chuckle at your idea of what constitutes a threat to christianity.
