yes OP persecution is alive and beyond horrible in the US. this is not a free speech or free religion or christian country. the claim that Christians don't get persecuted in the US that so many demons make is just a demonic lie. I get banned every website I go on for preaching the gospel, spreading the word, talking about Jesus. something is seriously wrong they censor, silence, ban all Christians online you can't preach, only the fake Christians who are clearly wolves in sheep clothing that twist scripture, preach a fake gospel (prosperity, word of faith, health and wealth charlatans) are allowed so they can say look we don't ban christians! I can't imagine what they do in real life to the true gospel spreading Christians.
