Christians are never really oppressed in the western world, that's why it's not taken as seriously. Christianity however is the face of oppression, at least in terms of organised religion. I'm from Ireland and the church have a say in EVERYTHING, but that's finally being challenged now.

@Lotuseater Over here in the UK, and in some parts of Canada and America, it seems to be different.

@Lotuseater Ireland would have to be one of the last counties where the church still holds the power personally I'm against that and if Lisbon taught us anything God doesn't like it either

In what way? Christians are oppressed? I don't think so. Definitely not more so than minority religions. Do you remember the attempted Muslim ban in the US? If that happened to Christians then...well that's actually impossible to imagine.

@SW-User It still seems powerful in the US. The church shouldn't hold power anyway because not everyone is Christian or religious. Separation of church and state!

@Lotuseater In many islamic countries, christians are undergoing genocide. And in the west, or at least where I live in the UK, you are allowed to criticise christianity, to an extreme extent, until you run out of breath, yet merely suggest that Islam is even simply as bad as the other religions, then you may even face legal consequences.

@Lotuseater the church has a political voice which is okay every group should but we don't hold the power
