Christians are being persecuted? I don't have any doubts that Christians living in theocratic nations are persecuted as much as atheists, but to say they are persecuted in a first world civilized western country is just an irrational claim. A guy at my university did a thesis to get a masters on Law History, it was about the discrimination of Christians in Europe and the US, and while he made some points I agreed with, most of his work was about criticizing new atheism and atheists, the only reason he passed is because the director of the Law History master section is a former professor of mine who is also a Christian who hates atheists and gays, an Opus Dei member.
By persecution american Christians probably mean 'people advocating freedom from a theocratic form of government. Christians are just angry everyone is starting to let go old myths in favour of reason, enlightenment and critical thinking (This doesn't necessarily mean that everyone becomes an atheist, but at least most young people are agnostics), and so they start with these desperate unfounded accusations.
On a personal note, they can go shove the holy spirit up their asses, everytime there is a conflict between human rights and religion, human rights should prevail, no questions asked.

Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you
