Are Christians discriminated against more than those of other faiths?

RE: Are Christians discriminated against more than those of other faiths?
Quote:Because it is Christianity, not Islam, that is responsible for most of the ignorant, anti-enlightenment superstitions that actually making the population of this country on average outstandingly uninformed and stupid by comparison to other parts of the world that has benefited from the same enlightenment heritage.

I've never actually seen any evidence to support that claim as a general principle,although I'd be thrilled to see your evidence.

Religions are invented by men for men. They do not cause ignorance or superstition per se. Religion thrives in ignorance and poverty as preconditions. It dwindles with education and affluence.

Although ignorant and stupid people tend to be religious and superstitious,by no mean all religious people are ignorant and superstitious.The flavour of religion seems to be pretty much irrelevant,with the exception of Scientology-which-is-a- confidence-trick-not-a-religion-anyway.Thinking
