who genuinely believes that Christians are the most oppressed people in the world because of their religion and she's not talking about her kind of Christians protesting at liberal churches, she genuinely thinks that there's some kind of persecution of Evangelical Christians happening somewhere, rather than them dominating American politics and trying to take away everyone's rights like I see them doing. I don't think you want to be seen as naively allying yourself with those people, even if there are cases where minority Christian populations have been oppressed around the world. (She thinks it's happening in America somehow.)
I have seen claims that globally Christians do face a large amount of persecution (often in majority Muslim countries, China and North Korea), specifically being killed for their faith. I've definitely seen it said that there were more Christian martyrs in the 20th century than the previous 19 put together.
Miscellaneous. Eclectic. Random. Perhaps markedly literate, or at least suffering from the compulsion to read any text that presents itself, including cereal boxes.

However, that doesn't mean that in the US that Christians are persecuted! But Churches have been bombed in Egypt, Pakistan etc. I'm not sure who correlates the data and how you grade persecution. But the Bishop of Truro was commissioned to report on persecution of Christians.
