Christian Privilege

[paulpablo]

Jew and Muslim privilege is probably real too depending on where you work.  

Where we live.  Where we live.   The concept of privilege is not a comment on whether or not muslims get away with shit in the local muslim cake bakery.  

Being a Christian might help you out in some work places but no place that I've ever worked. I'd say they're definitely in the minority of people I've worked with, most people I work with and talk about religion are either atheist or Muslim.  I think America takes Christianity more seriously than the UK though.  

Here, in our country of christian privilege, it simply helps not to be a muslim at all.  Similarly, in the uk, you don't hear the usual suspects bitching about the anglican church.  

A Christian having an advantage in a specific situation because they're Christian is real, but it's not real as in it's something they have, all the time, it's not attached to them if they go to a Muslim country.  Or if you're the wrong type of Christian and get caught up in some sectarian conflict.

Privilege is distinct from the sorts of situational advantages you're thinking of.

Muslims getting away with shit if non muslims couldn't get away with in a local bakery is by definition an example of a specific group being privileged in that bakery.  That is the definition of privilege, a specific group of people which have an advantage/immunity available to them.

There aren't many non situational advantages.  Maybe some I can think of is the privilege of being healthy.  Most privileges rely on a situation surrounding the benefit resulting in the advantage.
