    I have a family member who told me last year that they believe Christians are the most persecuted group in the USA, even more so than gay people.

    I asked questions and challenged some of the statements being made

    I imagine some of those questions included:

    1. How many christians in the USA were killed in the last 20 years only because they were christian?
    2. When was the last time a gathering of christians in a public library doing things unrelated to being christian forced to cease and desist?
    3. Is it common in society for a young adult living with parents to profess their love for christ and be thrown out of their homes and essentially abandoned by the family?
    4. Is there a history in this country to regularly arrest and prosecute christians for gathering or holding ceremonies like communion?

    edit: A couple more additions.

    1. Has marriage between two christians been illegal for nearly the entirety of the existence of the USA?

    2. Are there camps that some misguided parents send their children to to be “deprogrammed” from being christian?
