But is the persecution real? More than any other bible-thinking group Christians get more insults. Their beliefs are attacked. Jews are not.
Beliefs of some coming end of the world are attacked and ridiculed. Justly? Perhaps. Nonetheless there is persecution.

No such God.
Yes Christians get persecuted ... for their ignorance.
