I do not know what you think is insulting.
There are a few people who believe in snake handling. They are not Baptists.The ignorance of associating these people with the vast majority of Evangelical Christians is not offensive, just stupid.

And this is just so with Catholics who worship (read: not venerate) statues or treat rosaries and medals like magic voodoo talismans.

I agree, painting with a broad brush is stupid. I wish more Evangelicals would agree with your position.
