Poor christians rarely have full freedom in christian countries. In every christian country, it's been christians holding each other down. The largest persecutions of christians in rome, since we're history buffs with an interest in julian, were initiated by the christian emperors themselves.
Julian had seen the thuggery at the beginning, he was a product of it. He correctly predicted what would immediately follow. This is why he believed that for civilization to be saved from it's christian decline the civil religion had to be strengthened. One of the more famous arguments he got himself into could be ripped out of todays headlines. Christians had decided that hellenic tradition and hellenic literature were filth. They objected to it being taught. Yet the wealthy christian influencers continued to send their children to hellenic schools to secure lucrative positions in the hellenic administration. Maybe, Julian explained, if they really believed that shit..they should start their own schools using nothing but their own scriptures and see what that got them?
