Also, why is that asking people not to tag you in religious posts on social media, saying happy holidays, and maintaining a separation of church and state is so often considered a war on Christianity; however, the same Christians that claim oppression have no qualms about mistreating anyone who dares to openly not be Christian?
It’s still fairly mild in the U.S. compared to getting your head chopped off in other nations, but it really doesn’t take a lot effort to find significant evidence of both hostility and discrimination mostly based on leftist Marxist ideology, which makes common cause with naturalists/materialists, Muslims, and others.

Regarding the separation of Church & State, Christians already believe in that, at least Protestant Christians. We don’t want a particular church in charge of the state, as that would inevitably lead to a threatening of the rights of other Christian sects, as well as those of other religions or no religion at all a right to their freedom of conscience. The modern version of the Separation of Church & State wasn’t instituted in America until 1947, after Everson v. Board of Education and the decision written by Hugo Black, which was a deliberate revision of history and misunderstanding of Thomas Jefferson’s letter written to the Pastor of a Baptist church, if I recall correctly. I don’t know why anyone would have a problem with asking not to be tagged, but the Separation of Church & State is an artificial and false standard that has been added in the last 70 years in order to push Christians out of the public square and foster a hostility toward Christianity on the part of the government, which of course, was never the intent of America’s Founders. I mean, Thomas Jefferson used to hold church serves on Sunday inside the Capitol Building of the United States back in the early 1800s. It’s obvious that neither he, nor any of the other Founders of note had anything like today’s modern notion of the Separation of Church & State in mind. That’s why people tend to see the modern imposition of the Separation of Church & State for what it really is.
