Pew: White Evangelicals Consider Themselves An Oppressed Minority

Posted by | September 24, 2014 20:14 | Filed under: Politics Religion Top Stories


It’s not blacks, Hispanics, Muslims, Jews or anyone else according to Pew. It’s white evangelicals who are the oppressed minority, say white evangelicals.

Among religious groups, fully half of white evangelical Protestants (50%) say evangelical Christians face a lot of discrimination compared with 31% of the public overall saying this…

[E]vangelicals are less sanguine about their position in American society, with one-third (34%) saying it has become more difficult to be an evangelical Christian in the U.S. Consistent with this, three-in-ten white evangelical Protestants say they think of themselves as a religious minority because of their religious beliefs.

    not much of a choice back then, was it? Burning hell or heaven with no sh*tters – tough choice, even as an adult.
    Why I opted for the burning hell.
    At least you can have a lot of fun in THIS life.

    they consider not letting them have their way and letting them be in charge of everything as oppression.

    I went to a fundamentalist church in one of those metal barns in Florida when I was a teenager on a sorta bet

    If I go to church with my friend.
    She will drive me to the George Michael concert.
    I felt as if I was getting the better end of the deal… until I went to that god awful Church with her

    most stupid ill informed people feel they are being picked on by those who might have read a real book and had some interesting questions in their lifetime.

    To them, anything that takes a little away from their overwhelming sense of Christian privilege and entitlement is oppression. I’m sure groups that have faced real discrimination and prejudice would love to trade them for awhile.

    This is what happens when you buy into the white nationalist ideology of America being a white christian nation, and then the American people vote in a black president. Your World view is shattered
