Really? Scandinavians are pretty pacifistic. I hadn't noticed their leaders going on murderous rampages. What's your definition of "atheistic countries"? What about the Crusades? Religion has motivated a lot of people throughout history to commit genocide.

The Crusades are equal to America today fighting ISIS. It was defensive.

I don't know the religion in Scandinavian countries.

Actually the Crusaders were more like ISIS members. What business did Europeans have in the Middle East?

I keep addressing the topic but no one wants to see the answers. shrug. I think it's just to argue. In that case it's just a waste of time to point you to the answers.

Wait, we went from "they're getting rid of any and all Christians in the town square" to "they're keeping Christians from discriminating against gays"? Y'know, as persecution goes, it really does seem a bit - lacking.

You can't explain purple to a blind man.

You can't talk sense to the senseless.

You put your finger on the reason Christians are told to stay in their churches. Don't tell us you disagree with our lifestyle.
