But first of all, offensiveness has nothing to do with accuracy, and second, Christianity is offensive to some as well, as is every religion. Yet followers of whatever religion can still preach whatever they want, while atheists are routinely attacked, humiliated, and even physically assaulted by the religious majority, simply because atheism offends more people's delusional notions of cosmic significance. Clearly, democracy isn't all it's cracked up to be.
