The religious right and other assorted religious bigots love to scream about how they’re being persecuted here in America. Some are so damned bad they’ve declared telling them to leave you alone is an act of persecution.
The fact of the matter is that Christians are in fact persecuted in the United States. One such Christian is Barack Obama who has went through months of having his Christian beliefs attacked.
For example, the following video:
Surely the religious right and the rest of the bigots will start screaming about this attack on Obama’s deeply held religious beliefs?
Nah, of course not. They are the one’s attacking Obama’s religious beliefs as this the video is by the Christian Anti-Defamation Commission. It’s mission states that it intends “to advance religious liberty by protecting Christians from defamation, discrimination and bigotry from any and all sources…”
So what we have here is the religious right admitting once again that they define “defamation, discrimination and bigotry” as disagreement with them.

"People who advocate freedom, yet deprecate agitation, are people who want crops without plowing the ground. They want rain without the awful roar of the thunder and lightning.
Without struggle, there is no progress. This struggle might be a moral one. It might be a physical one. It might be both moral and physical, but it must be a struggle.
Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did and it never will. People may not get all that they pay for in this world, but they certainly pay for all that they get." ~ Frederick Douglas
