4. Persecution to them means a whole different thing than it does to us

To them, it means that they are no longer the only people whom matter in this country and what they are really trying to do with all of this absurd "War on Christmas" is try to (re-)establish the means by which they can claim moral superiority and advance their own theocratic agenda. There are undoubtedly some atheists out there whom are not very nice to people of faith (and some "Christians" whom are not nice to everybody else as well) and there are attempts by business and government- sometimes slightly overreaching- to make the holiday season more inclusive for everybody but Christians aren't being forced to wear badges identifying their faith, they're not being jailed for proclaiming their faith publicly or privately, they're not being forced to renounce their religious beliefs/affiliations, and they're certainly not being rounded up and being sent to FEMA camps. Failing to recognize that Christianity is superior to other religions and/or enshrining them as the official religion of this country OTOH is NOT persecution.
