In one sense of the word pride, yes, it is a synonym. I won't use pride because of the many other connotations of the word. Let's clear things up: regardless of the word, the definition I'm using is this: sense of self-worth OR sense of the worth of humanity in general by humans (IOW how high humans regard humanity).

It is my understanding that Christians have a rather low regard for self and for humanity compared to people with other ideologies.
