"The 148-page Pew study is the first report of the U.S. Religious Landscape Survey and is believed to be one of the most comprehensive snapshots of religious affiliation.
According to the study, 78.4% of Americans are Christians, about 5% belong to other faith traditions and 16.1% are unaffiliated with any religion.
Deleted for length.
Secular unaffiliated Americans account for 6.3% of the population; religious unaffiliated, 5.8%; atheists, 1.6%; and agnostics, 2.4%."
Here are the 2008 figures. Xians make up 78% of the population. They own the GOP and president Bush. Which means they control the armed forces and police.
So who is persecuting the poor minority Xians?
Can't be the Jews at 1.7% or the atheists at 1.6% or the seculars whatever they are at 6.3%.
Of course it is just nonsense. Whoever claims that is either stupid, ignorant, or lying, probably all three.
There are groups being persecuted and occasionally murdered right now in the USA. MDs, scientists, gays, occasionally Catholics and Jews. Mostly being persecuted by Xian fundie fanatics.
