this is my opinion -- perhaps you don't agree.  Fine.    I think the rise of atheism is much like other social movements and gave some examples.

What is Christians' "privileged status" -- being in the majority, thus having, or the feeling of having more control.[/quote]

Another PP asked you to name some of the "perks" that come with being Christian. Merely asserting they are a majority isn't a perk. I don't know what you mean by "having the feeling of control." Sure, I have a great job with a 6-figure salary and DC goes to an Ivy. That's because I work very hard and DC is talented - not because we are Christian. It's not like I twisted some poor atheist's arm to get my job or DC into college, using my secret Christian Control Powers to get what I want.

I think if you take the number of peevish hair flips, sniffy retorts, outright insults and silly phrases like GIGO as an indicator of touchiness, the atheists on this thread win by a mile. Not even close. The Christian response has been surprisingly moderate. In fact, I think the unwarranted persecution complex belongs to the atheists.[/quote]
