Yeah, if you were to listen to Christians you would hear that they were constantly persecuted. Like during medieval times, Jews were stealing their kids and eating them, and Muslims also persecuted them. Even now, many Christians claim they are the most persecuted group ever. Even in places like Europe and the US Christians are in mortal danger and the most persecuted ever, especially white male Christians over the age of 35.

And how brave of them to still remain Christian despite all the persecution.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
