Big Queer Chesticles!
As to the claim that Atheists dont get persecuted as much as christians...they are outcasted more in the US and in these extremist countries they are heavily punished for not following with the flock.

That's because Christians are supposed to follow Jesus and He said nothing at all about persecuting others. In fact, He said that we will be the ones being persecuted and that we should hold fast to our faith through it. So we can definitely say that Christians who persecute others are not following Christ.

On the other hand, there are ayahs in the Qur'an that command Muslims to persecute and subjugate non-believers. Unlike verses from the Old Testament, which are part of the national mythos of Israel and are not taken as commandments for us today. The Qur'an is a very different book from the Bible and viewed very differently among Muslims from how Jews and Christians view the Bible. The Bible was written and collected over a period of a thousand years in various settings by a multitude of authors. It's a collection of mythology, history, folktales, poetry, aphorisms, prophecy and theological statements. However, the Qur'an is believed to the dictation of a revelation from an Angel that was written solely by Mohammad. It is viewed as completely perfect and unalterable. So, unlike with Judaism and Christianity, where the Bible is open to critical study and interpretation, the Qur'an is to be stridently adhered to and cannot be questioned at all. Even the style of it is very different from the Bible. In the Qur'an, the style of it is as if Allah is speaking directly to the reader, instead of it being told in story form with the reader viewing the events from the outside.

This is a point that's often missed.

Where in the US are atheists outcasts? Some backwater town in the deep South? I don't see any persecution of atheists in the West.

It's definitely true that Christians certainly rank as one of the world's most persecuted minorities. In the West, that seems a silly idea because Christians don't qualify as victims according to the politically correct standards of Victimhood™ . We're currently being exterminated from our ancient home in the Middle East. This is genocide, plain and simple.

Iran.

While Iran is impressively progressive in regards to transgender issues officially; they are also very accepting of Christianity officially. Today, there are at least 600 churches for 250,000 Christians in Iran.

In fact The government guarantees the recognized Christian minorities a number of rights, such as the right to buy non Halal food. (Indeed: 1996-2006 saw a 39% increase in the number of Christians in Iran)

So can you support that Christians are less accepted than transgender people (who, unlike Christians, are officially advised to keep their status private)?
