First of all, I don't think that has anything to do with the quote.

I'm just saying that Christians (AFAIK) don't think of themselves as 'perfect' and infallible. Quite the contrary.
Now, do some/any/most/all Christians consider themselves morally superior to non-Christians? I suppose that would explain their recruiting efforts. When you seek to bring new members into your fold, I suppose you could paint that as believing that your way is 'superior' and therefore 'better' for the recruitee, the religion, and society at large if the recruitee gives up his old way of life and joins up.
To directly answer your question, no, I don't know any Christians who look down their noses at non-Christians out of moral superiority and arrogance. I know a few who would like to see more people join them in Christianity because they sincerely believe that it tends to make a life more productive and happy.
Is that splitting hairs? It might be. Again, I'm out of my depth here.
