Are Christians discriminated against more than those of other faiths?

It's about "the enemy you know" so to speak. Most people in the West understand, are familiar with, or are acquainted with Christianity. That means they have more ammunition. However, I think most people in the west abhor the groups I mentioned above.

Liberals? Most of the west is liberal... America is the anomaly and not the norm.

Non theists in the west in general would also be a small issue, America is relatively alone in that as well.

Actually, Socialists get an unusually hard time in America too for some reason... There are socialist systems like Denmark which are extremely successful, moral and productive - I don't support anywhere near the level of dissent towards socialism that is displayed on Faux news, I just don't believe extensive socialism is the way to go, they ultimately become more authoritarian, and that is a BIG concern for me.

I agree with you that there is far more hostility towards Muslims, but Islam is inherently worse than Christianity from the ground up, so it deserves more hostility. The biggest problem is anti-Muslim attitudes bleeding into anti-Arab attitudes.
