On Persecution of American Christians by Atheists and Other Minority Groups

That does not occur. It cannot. Christianity is by far the dominant religion in the United States. No other religion even comes close.

Atheists and minority religious groups do not and cannot persecute the dominant religion. They can only be watchful that their own rights are not violated by that dominant religion. They can, if they wish, object to and pursue legal protection from such violations when they occur, of course. That is one of the rights afforded to all U.S. Citizens.

When they do, of course, that is considered by the dominant religion to be persecution. It is not that. It is merely a defense of rights. Along the same lines, when atheists or followers of minority religions find flaws within Christianity, it is their right to point out those flaws if they wish, particularly when those flaws affect them. That, also, is not persecution, but merely the assertion of their own rights.

Christians are sometimes persecuted, but only in places where another belief system is dominant. The United States is not one of those places. DU is not one of those places, either. The vast majority of positions of authority in this country are held by Christians. It is extraordinarily difficult for those who are not Christians to attain such positions.

False accusations of persecution are, well, false. Speaking out against such false accusations is also among the rights everyone enjoys in this country. So, nobody should be surprised when someone does so.

I am an atheist. I do not believe that any deities or other supernatural entities exist at all. I treat all religions equally. I don't follow any of them. Generally, I simply ignore religious believers, except when they attempt to impose their beliefs and rules on me or others. If they don't do that, I don't bother with them at all. I expect reciprocity along those lines.
