Poor persecuted Christians , they don't even know what persecution is


"Christianity is the majority religion in the U.S. Many kinds of legally ensconced religious privileges are on the rise including the right to woo converts in public grade schools, speculate in real estate tax-free, repair religious facilities with public dollars, or opt out of civil rights laws and civic responsibilities that otherwise apply to all. By contrast atheists are less electable than even philanderers, weed smokers or gays; Hispanics and Muslims are being told to leave; Jews get accused of everything from secret economic cabals to destroying America’s military; and unarmed black youth continue to die at the hands of vigilantes.

Given the reality of other people’s lives, a widespread evangelical perception of their group as mass victims reveals a lack of empathy that should give thoughtful believers reason to cringe. And indeed, Alan Nobel, managing editor of Christ and Pop Culture, and a professor at Oklahoma Baptist University, wrote a thoughtful, pained analysis this summer of what he called “evangelical persecution complex.”

It's sad isn't it. These people have been brainwashed into the perpetual victim mentality by Faux News and con-media. The fake 'war on christmas' is a glaring example. Faux finds one or two obscure instances where some greeter at a store is told to say 'happy holidays' and Faux goes bugshit for two months on how Christianity is moments away from going extinct, as it were. It's all fake of course but con-media is constructed to keep their listeners always in fear and always 'at war' with something. It is one of the oldest best known propaganda methods ever devised by the scumbags of the Earth to prey on the weak minded and gullible.

I would say the vast majority of American Christians are not like this but you've got that minority...that "I'm a victim" minority that certainly seem to wallow in persecution like it's a yummy dessert.

All of the media does that with all issues including the left.
It's exactly how they did "Hand up don't shoot", even though it never happened.
 
By contrast atheists are less electable than even philanderers, weed smokers or gays;
According to one estimate 25 million Christians died in the 20th century from secular anti-religious violence!

Does tend to reduce trust a bit.

Hispanics and Muslims are being told to leave;
Hispanics are one of the most Christian groups in the U.S.

Jews get accused of everything from secret economic cabals
Why do you believe the accusations are false?

and unarmed black youth continue to die at the hands of vigilantes.
African Americans are one of the most Christian groups in the U.S.

While the people of the U. S. are usually Christian, the elites are often ardently secular.

It is very stupid to claim voucher and similar programs represent "legally ensconced religious privileges". Parents and children choose this kind of school when they decide the local public school is inadequate. This kind of freedom and competition can benefit many students, especially minority students.

If Pell grants are lawful, vouchers are too
