re: Report: Christians were the most persecuted group of people in 2016

Good link, thanks! The point of the OP wasn't to prove Christian/religious persecution in the USA. It is clear that direct persecution is not happening in the USA-- as far as beheading and attacks of literal Churches and relics destroyed; as what is happening overseas.

It seems the theme of this thread has turned into highlighting this, somehow negating hostility toward Christianity in America.

“Undeniable: The Survey of Hostility to Religion in America,”

Politically, with the progressive left in power (and this power continuing with the media) SJW causes, BLM, LGBTQRSTUV, and islamic faith, are seemingly protected and revered.

Evidence of this is the OSU terrorist attack and Obama's AG made a podium speech about how the 'hate crime' laws are going to protect muslims and the islamic faith. IOW's AG Lynch justified the media reports that the terrorist plowed people over with a vehicle and machete'; because he was oppressed and needed a Prayer rug and room.

Christianity is only revered when it is politically expedient for the democrats. i e....the SC nutcase shooting a black Church. Obama suddenly respects Christianity (of the black theologian nature.) and black Churches-- by singing Amazing Grace in the Church (like he gives a rats arse about anything but identity politics and cultural and racial divide.)

But when Christians claim persecution because gay people now have the same legal protections that Christians have always enjoyed, you lose credibility.

So gay is a religion now?

however, its intellectually dishonest to deny Christianity hasn't been under assault

The main assault on Christianity in the US is internal.

cafeteria catholics don't count. she is about as Orthodox as the Kennedy's and Kerry.
