God, (sorry bro, didn't mean to take your name in vain) I can't even walk down  the street in NYC without seeing a bus advertisement promoting anti-christian beliefs. STOP PERSECUTING US!

Seriously speaking, why do some Christians believe they are persecuted in a 1st world country with religious freedom?

This is not the greatest sig in the world, no. This is just a tribute.
The ones who think that see the ending of their majority and the inclusion of other cultures in mainstream media as a way to oppress the Christian faith by godless militant Atheists and Sharia law practicing Muslims.

There are many kinds of Christians out there. Which Christian group feels persecuted exactly?

It's not enclosed in a sect. It's just ill minded people.

I am always around, but never seen. I am often avoided, but you can't out run me. for I will come when you're old and grey, or maybe even the very next day. I will come with cold embrace, and give you rest with a chilled kiss on your face. I come in many forms of emotional state, whether it's irony, love, laughter, or hate. I am everyone's final fate.
I don't believe we are 'persecuted'. I mean getting called retarded for believing God is one thing but being thrown into a Colosseum to get eaten by a lion is another.

It's a worldwide attack on our culture. One less believer in God hurts us as a whole.
Do you actually believe that?

"flaming nipple chops"-Your host, the man they call Ghost.

To say, 'nothing is true', is to realize that the foundations of society are fragile, and that we must be the shepherds of our own civilization. To say, 'everything is permitted', is to understand that we are the architects of our actions, and that we must live with their consequences, whether glorious or tragic.

does this stuff even work?
The only thing that bothers me is this.

I'm not seeing Christians around here saying "omg im so persecuted". So why is it that atheists are saying that we, Christians, are claiming that we're being persecuted( in the US)? Is this like a thing in the northern states or something?

Not as far as I know. I haven't heard any of it.

Atheists just need something to justify not believing in God.

Atheists don't need to justify a lack of belief beyond there not being enough evidence. The persecution of Christians by atheists (or, more correctly, juvenile mockery) is probably more down to a sort of "psychology of the community". As soon as people identify as atheist, you form a group and groups tend to naturally find opponents and demonise and immoralise them.

It's nowhere near as bad as some of the persecutions we've seen throughout history, but it's certainly counter-productive and petty. At least, however, it's nowhere near as bad as atheism+.

I agree.

People like Richard Dawkins, Sam Harris and Christopher Hitchens need to be made distinct from the likes of anti-religious fedora tippers.
