“I have to say, as someone who is not a Christian, it’s hard for me to believe Christians are a persecuted people in America. God willing, maybe one of you one day will even rise up and get to be president of this country — or maybe forty-four in a row. But that’s my point, is they’ve taken this idea of no establishment as persecution, because they feel entitled, not to equal status, but to greater status.” PeopleFeelsBelieveIdeasCountryHardChristianAmericaPresidentTakenGreaterFourWillingOne DayEqualGods WillFortyEstablishmentEntitledPersecutionPersecuted Author:Jon Stewart
“Persecution has come upon us, right honorable brethren, and persecution in the severest form. Shepherds are persecuted that their flocks may be scattered. And the worst of all is that those who are being treated ill cannot accept their sufferings in proof of their testimony, nor can the people reverence the athletes as in the army of martyrs, because the name of Christians is applied to the persecutors. The one charge which is now sure to secure severe punishment is the careful keeping of the traditions of the Fathers.” PeopleMayChristianFormSufferingFatherNamesAcceptingWorstTraditionArmyAthleteIllCarefulProofPunishmentTreatedSecureCatholicismReverenceHonorableSeverePersecutionTestimonyMartyrFlocksShepherdsBrethrenPersecuted Author:Saint Basil

“[T]he Rev. R. Taylor, A.M., the Deist, now in gaol, infamously persecuted by the Whigs for his religious opinions, in his learned defense of Deism called the Diegesis, has clearly proved all the heirarchical institutions of the Christians to be a close copy of those of the Essenians of Egypt.” ChristianReligiousOpinionInstitutionsDefenseCopiesEgyptPersecutedDeismDeist Author:Godfrey Higgins

“The idea of separating church and state by the Founding Fathers of America was freedom from the domination of one form of religion, because many of them left England, because they were persecuted by the church, because they want to express their Christian faith in a different way.
