I bring it up only for the sake of curiosity rather that a cry of persecution. I don't feel personally wronged by this person or any others.

The Atheist vs. Theist battle in the US is very even, and the 'persecution' is very much a two way street. To compare that with the plight of black and LGBT people is pretty absurd. It's more like a heated sports rivalry than a cop shoots you in the head 15 times because your black thing.
I agree that other minority groups have very different struggles; but, the atheist/theist situation is far from even.
