Most American Christians Believe They're Being Persecuted

All religions bill themselves
as a persecuted minority, that is
how they squeeze money from their
gullible followers.

Opinion or fact? Do you have any evidence of "all religions" saying this? What about your pets, the Muslims? (continued below at [1])

Please cite where EVERY ONE OF THESE religions have said that:

We'll go with just SOME of the more "modern" religions. Please cite their creeds on persecution. Thank you.

[1] After they kill a few hundred Jews or Christians or Catholics or just PEOPLE, do they turn to the camera and yell out, "Allahu Akbar, we only kill because we are persecuted"?

Do you have anecdotal evidence to prove to us "ALL RELIGIONS" are billing themselves as persecuted minorities?

I was born into a Catholic family, had my First Holy Communion at 6 yrs. of age, was Confirmed at 10 and was an Alter Boy for years up until I quit the Church at 17.

Not once... EVER... did I hear the many priests there, say ANYTHING about him, us or the Catholic Church, being persecuted. His sermons were religious in nature and not one of his Homilies about Catholic persecution.

If YOU don't think being killed by Muslims and/or maligned by the likes of you asshole atheists, who are atheists ONLY, because you fuck other men in the ass, and NO TRUE religion accepts THAT, (not even your pets, the Muslims) is being persecuted, then you need to look up the definition of persecution.

I'm sorry... are YOU an expert on religions being persecuted, or not? Then, maybe YOU should be a writer/journalist.

SOMEBODY, other than the likes of you, wy wee the Cuntnadian Welfare Queen, and all the other asshole atheists here on Usenet, thinks that religions ARE being persecuted, AND have the right to say so.

Persecution | Catholic Answers

-GENERAL-Persecution may be defined in general as the unlawful coercion of another's liberty or his unlawful punishment, for not every kind of punishment can be regarded as persecution. For our purpose it must be still further limited to the sphere of religion, and in that sense persecution means unlawful coercion or punishment for religion's sake.
