Not to be an ass, but your tone is sorta provocative, like you're assuming people are going to diss you for being a Christian. Can become like a self-fulfilling prophecy.
Jesus instructed his apostles on spreading the word:
Matt 10:
11 “Now whatever city or town you enter, inquire who in it is worthy, and stay there till you go out. 12 And when you go into a household, greet it. 13 If the household is worthy, let your peace come upon it. But if it is not worthy, let your peace return to you. 14 And whoever will not receive you nor hear your words, when you depart from that house or city, shake off the dust from your feet. 15 Assuredly, I say to you, it will be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of judgment than for that city!
He said to just get up and walk away if they don't grok to the message. He does go on to say that it will bad for them someday but I don't get a sense of needing to complain directly to the people that they don't get the importance of their (the apostles') message.
