UGGGGGGGGGGGGG
This isn't about one label, this is about human's flawed perceptions.
When you blame Christians you miss our species entire history of bad logic.
The terms "majority and minority" are geographical and time frame based.
A Christian in the west complaining about being oppressed while being the real bigot is being a crybaby. A Christian living in Iraq being murdered by Isis has a right to bitch. Just like a Muslim living in America is going to be more likely to be treated as suspect than a Christian.
People completely missed one aspect of France and the Hebdo murders. Jews in Europe complain about bigotry, and they are right. Muslims also complain about bigotry and they too are also right.
But what all three miss is that RELIGION itself is cause of human divisions. You sell the idea that your tribe deserves to be given a pedestal you can get to a political level of thinking the "other" is a separate species.
All three religions are full of fan club members who get stuck on pretty which causes them to be too sensitive and over protective and doesn't allow them to a great enough degree to see others as being the same species.
You cannot get rid of religion, but you can face humans with the fact that we are the same species. Which is why we need to speak in terms of logic and not speak in terms of labels or "us vs them". Religion is poison because it take our natural range of human behavior and turns it into a comic book. Not even "atheist" should be treated as if it is a patent holder of human morality. Our species morality is in our evolution, not the labels or clubs we invent.
