I get even tireder when I hear what it is that they consider persecution. So I thought I post a few examples of real Christian persecution:
In the Swainsboro Primary School in Georgia teachers not only held prayers in school, the effectively punished the children of atheist parents by sending the children out into the hall during prayers. Some teachers even pulled the atheist children aside during lunch to attempt to convert them. http://www.patheos.com/blogs/friendlyath...ve-in-god/
A second grad boy in Fort Wayne Community Schools, Indiana, was asked by a female classmate where he went to church. He responded that he did not go to church because he did not believe in god. She said that his answer hurt her feelings. The playground supervisor told him she was very concerned about what he had done and the she would contact his mother. She did not contact his mother, instead she made the boy sit by himself during lunch for having offended other students. http://www.journalgazette.net/news/local...er-7378928

Not exactly feeding atheists to the lions, but then I don't see any atheist teachers making pariahs of Christian children either.

That's because you haven't searched for those, Christian children have been told a several schools they are not allowed to say a blessing before they eat, seems a shame when teachers deter thankfulness.

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
