> [@John\_Mace](#): > > Does that rise to the level of “persecution”? It probably can feel that way to certain religious folk who post here. But I would not consider this MB to represent the US, and would not accept that Christians are persecuted in any meaningful way IRL in the US. And didn’t I agree with this general point in the thread? > [@Why do Christians — America’s most populous religious group — feel so victimized?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/why-do-christians-america-s-most-populous-religious-group-feel-so-victimized/685012/185): > > In American society, Christians enjoy a similar – indeed, perhaps even greater – advantage in terms of numbers and political power. They certainly suffer some hostility and ill-treatment, and can fairly be said to experience persecution. **But it’s not the kind of treatment that should engage a neutral observer to worry, because society as a whole remains comfortably monolithically Christian, and the persecution in question will not lead to any real threat.** --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/ftr-no-matter-how-harsh-i-get-here-with-the-nasty-wordsies-i-am-not-persecuting-you/685591)._
