The difference between the two totally depends on the nuances and details of the situation too. If it was an organized all Christians wear pro-Jesus event where you had 80% of the student body wearing the shirts, then I could see even that being a problem. Or if there had been a history of religious conflict in the school, and the school was banning these shirts in a similar way that some bars ban hockey jerseys.
However, one student quietly expressing his beliefs by wearing a pro-Jesus t-shirt really doesn't bother me in the slightest.

It's very much a subjective opinion about whether a "Life is wasted without Jesus" shirt is pro-Jesus or anti other religions (or both). I think a reasonable person can read that slogan and interpret its meaning as "All people who practice non-Christian religions are wasting their lives". I personally am not offended by the shirt, but I'm not so inconsiderate to deny that anyone might reasonably find it hostile towards their religious beliefs.
