Re: Who is more persecuted in America - Christians or Atheists?

Christians are obviously more persecuted than atheists, but what I don't understand is why some Christians are bent on persecuting other Christians instead of focusing their energy on more obvious targets like injuns or Arabs.

Re: Who is more persecuted in America - Christians or Atheists?

The world rejected Christ. The world still does. Just as the enemy came after Jesus on the cross, the enemy will also attack anyone through whom the light of Jesus shines. It would be rather surprising if that didn't happen. Jesus never said that the walk of a Christian would be easy. We are promised, though, that God rewards us in Heaven whenever we are persecuted on Earth. I will pin the hope of God's promise against the hopelessness of the world any day.

Instead of cutting and pasting from alternet, why not post some thoughts of your own, or has the Cult of Darwin so brainwashed you that it is completely empty?

atheist billboards — not in-your-face controversial ones, but almost aggressively mild ones, simply announcing that atheists exist and are good people — are vandalized on a regular basis. According to Maggie Ardiente, Director of Development and Communications of the American Humanist Association, “Thanks to a member of ours who lives in Moscow, Idaho, the AHA has been putting up billboards over the past two years to promote humanism and atheism. When we put up a factual, non-controversial billboard that said, ‘Millions are Good Without God,’ it was vandalized twice! We continue to put billboards in the area, but there is often additional security provided when we put up a new one.”

Duncan Henderson wanted to form a secular club at his public school — which he has the full legal right to do. But his school principal denied his request. According to JT Eberhard, campus organizer and high school specialist at the Secular Student Alliance, “When Duncan’s father scheduled a meeting to discuss the matter, the principal showed up to the meeting with a lawyer, who more or less repeated, ‘We’re going to follow the law’ in response to every question. But the school has not followed through on that promise to follow the law. The school has stonewalled, and attempts by the SSA to discuss the matter were met with an email from the school’s attorney saying they’re not going to speak to anybody.”

several states have antiquated laws on the books banning atheists from holding office. “The Supreme Court has said that federal law prohibits states from requiring a religious test to serve office,” she says, but “there are still some states that have such laws, whether they enforce them or not.”

In 2001, for instance, the Mississippi Supreme Court upheld an order giving a mother custody partly because she took the child to church more often than the father did, thus providing a better ‘future religious example.’ In 2000, it ordered a father to take the child to church each week, as a [lower] Mississippi court ordered… reasoning that ‘it is certainly to the best interests of [the child] to receive regular and systematic spiritual training.

Damon Fowler. I’m talking about the atheist high school student who opposed his public school having a school-sponsored prayer at his graduation. Whose name was leaked. And who, as a result, was hounded, pilloried, and ostracized by his community; publicly demeaned by one of his teachers; physically threatened; and thrown out by his parents, who cut off his financial support, kicked him out of the house, and threw his belongings onto the front porch. Whose public school went ahead and had the graduation prayer anyway. Who has had to leave his home and move in with his sister near Dallas, Texas.


You’ve got Utah. Where, says American Atheists president David Silverman, “the State Attorney General is trying to have the Roman Cross pronounced secular so it can be placed on public buildings and schools without regard to equal access.”

Re: Who is more persecuted in America - Christians or Atheists?

Is atheism legal? Unfortunately, yes.
Is Christianity legal? To be a Christian, you must follow all of God's commandments, and oppressive secular law bans us from following many of His Wishes, such as not allowing us to execute non-believers. So, clearly, we are much more persecuted, and we will carry on being persecuted until the day that atheism is made illegal and punishable by death.

The public high school graduation ceremony that was like a revival meeting

The governor who responded to economic troubles, natural disasters, and terrorism by initiating a state day of prayer, and exhorted Texans to “call on Jesus”

The governor, again, who decreed three official state Days of Prayer for Rain

The public school where they distribute Bibles

The high school textbooks which teach that the Bible was a “foundational text” in the framing of the U.S., that the King James Bible “remains one of the… most-loved books in the history of the world,” and that “the sun went black” when Jesus was crucified

You’ve got Georgia. Where students taking their AP tests at a church were proselytized to by church members.

Yes, so sometimes the fight back works.

What's your point?
