Yeah, one of the things that made me doubt my religious upbringing was the preacher repeatedly saying that Christians are a persecuted minority to a Sunday crowd of some 3000 people, in a church people nicknamed “Fort God” for its massive size, in a town where “on every street corner” really isn’t much of an exaggeration. In hindsight, it was laughably ridiculous.
Also, the literal military-worship on Sundays near Memorial Day and Veterans Day was a bit jarring even to the young, good-little-Christian me.
A religion that has a building dedicated to it on every street corner does not get to claim they are persecuted.

Oh? I was not aware of this. Clearly they weren’t either.
