Christians were first, and horribly, targeted for persecution as a group by the emperor Nero in 64 AD. A colossal fire broke out at Rome, and destroyed much of the city. Rumors abounded that Nero himself was responsible. To divert attention from the rumors, Nero ordered that Christians should be rounded up and killed. Some were torn apart by dogs, others burnt alive as human torches. Over the next hundred years or so, Christians were sporadically persecuted. Then in the mid-third century, emperors initiated even more intensive persecutions. This, “The Great Persecution”, is considered the largest. Beginning with a series of four edicts banning Christian practices and ordering the imprisonment of Christian clergy, the persecution intensified until all Christians in the empire were commanded to sacrifice to the gods or face immediate execution. This persecution was to be the last, as Constantine I soon came into power and in 313 legalized Christianity.

Quality summary.

And then...

Through the centuries there were groups that were marginalized by the now state-empowered Christianity Inc., such as the Donatists and Anabaptists. Even the Reformers turned on them and persecuted them with the same vile tortures and hatred the RCC had used before. And when they migrated to America, the Puritans were not above burning "witches" or gloating over the gruesome deaths of women who "didn't know their place" (e.g. Ann Hutchinson).

Today "Churchianity" is a state religion, being blended with others into such things as "Chrislam". And in Islamic controlled countries, Christians are being crucified, burned, beheaded, and their property destroyed or confiscated.

Now tell me how "persecuted" you anti-Christians are in this place.
