On a couple of threads I have seen comments from Christians about how atheists are mean to them, persecute them, intrude into the religious lives, and so forth. When I asked for examples of this intrusion , excepting things that Christians tried to do that are violations of the Constitution, all I got was that the mean atheists wouldn't let Christians put the 10 Commandments up in a park, presumably a public funded park, which of course is a constitutional issue.
So then, would anyone else like to take a crack at it? In what exact ways are atheists, secularists, humanists, being mean and persecuting Christians ? Again, excepting things that Christians try to do that are violations of the Constitution .

Given the fact that Christians use to burn people who did not agree with them at the stake, it hard to feel bad for them when their plans occasionally become disrupted.

They show them where they are wrong and have actual facts to support their statements that what they practice doe not reflect what they claim to believe.

Probably when they make fun of people for believing, but that's not all that mean. It's to be EXPECTED because hey, they are atheists, and if you're not a believer, it does sound pretty funny.
Sometimes it can get old and childish, like the tired, overused "sky daddy" references, but let it roll off your back. It's hardly worth getting upset over.
Christians in the U.S.A. are FAR from persecuted and should be ashamed of applying the term to themselves here.

Well, first of all, the people who did that are not people who are alive now, so that really makes no sense to pin people living now with responsibility for the actions of people long dead. Secondly, Christians burned one another at the stake for being the wrong type of Christian far more than they burned nonbelievers.
Fundamentalist ideologues need a Bogeyman, and an enemy.
This month it is the mean Atheists. However, ideologues want us to know they are happier than Atheists in a study, or something.....nah, na, na, na, na. Strange what an ideologue cares about.
Next week it will be women making independent reproductive health choices without their permission. Let me not forget those mean LGBTQ couples who want cake.
It is always about them. I am thinking they need a motto. I'm not happy till you're not happy.

I have yet to see a single atheist EVER be nice or friendly to a Christian. Not once. More specifically, you have a group like the Freedom from Religion Foundation who takes the Constitution and molds it to force communities to surrender any remotely trace of faith. You know it's a group that wants to tear down Christianity when their slogan is "nothing fails like prayer". It serves absolutely no benefit to society to demand things like removing a cross memorial from a 9/11 museum. That is pure meanness as many ppl could actually get comfort from such a memorial.
Your charge that such attacks do not count because it involves Constitutional law is not fair because they are misinterpreting the Constitution to their advantage. Any remote display or act of a religious nature does not automatically equate to a government office endorsing a particular religion. The Supreme Court has ruled this way too. So groups like FRRF operate only out of pure meanness and spite for Christians. Funny how they don't see to go after Muslims or other religions.

Atheists are not the ones ringing doorbells and waking people up at 8 a.m. on a Sunday in order to try to convert them. Now THAT is mean!
