Why do Christians — America’s most populous religious group — feel so victimized?

I realize this is snark, but that’s a pretty good example. If a bit of internet snark is “persecution”, the word has no usable meaning.

I don’t agree. Words have meanings, to be sure, but I usually take the dictionary’s meanings as authority for the proper use of words.

“Hostility and ill-treatment, esp. because of race or political or religious beliefs.” (per Google)

If you’d like to defend the proposition that on the SDMB, Christianity is NOT subject to hostility and ill-treatment, please feel free.

I agree, of course, that the SDMB is not inflicting bodily injury, hounding people from their homes, or denying them job opportunities. But that’s not the limit of the word.
