What I said had nothing whatsoever to do with persecution by Christians in the past. It was all about the ignorance and hypocrisy in telling an atheist about how hard it is being a Christian in public.
Whoa, easy there MetalMembrane, you said "end times" and that your mom is afraid she won't be able to worship freely in her lifetime...and I'm sure you know the 5th seal of the Alpacalips is some serious Christian persecution.....so you can understand why I might make the inference?
Context, as it turns out, makes the other comment clear as well.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
