Personal experience testimony welcomed. Seems that all aggressive religion strains have three things in common:
1. they claim to be the only truth or at least the best purest truth
2. They claim to be the fastest growing religion in the world
3. They claim to be the only religion hated and persecuted by others

No one got it right, so I will leave this one up for voting unless a better answer comes alone

I think the most persecutING religion is Atheism. (Claims to be the ONLY truth, claims to be fastest growing faction, claim to be the only ones being persecuted and hated.) How many other religions go around suing over being offended over someone else's display of their religion? How many Buddhists have staged law suits over the 10 commandments displayed at a courthouse (which, by the way, HISTORICALLY, our law is based on)? How many Christians have made a national case if a teacher in a school even MENTIONS that they are Buddhist? How often do you hear of a Muslim suing their city for putting out a Christmas tree?

Just a note on Wicca in the army, my sister's husband was in the army for many years, re-enlisted, even, and never had a problem with having "Wiccan" on his dog tags as his religion. I would guess it just depends on the company and base you are in, just like the guy who was court marshalled recently from the Navy for praying in the Name of Jesus.

Witchcraft, Wicca and Paganism is the most persecuted. Many Americans don't even consider it a real religion, so they don't grant us basic rights. A soldier recently was denied a Pentacle on his tombstone. One of my friends was thrown out of the Army for practicing Witchcraft.
This religion is persecuted by, take a wild guess, Christianity.

There is no TRUE persecution in the U.S. of a single religion. True persecution includes imprisonment, death, torture. Now if you want to talk about prejudice they are ALL getting it big time & it will get much worst before end times.
In the WORLD yes the Chrsitain sects are getting it worse.

The Catholic Church is the most persecuted in America.
Why? Even fellow Christians hate us.

1. They were forced from their homes in Missouri by an "extermination order" signed by the govenor. They were eventually forced to move to Utah (what was then outside of the US.)
2. Their leader and prophet was jailed repeatedly on false charges, and ultimately murdered while in jail.
3. They are continually accused of being "non-Christians," even though they "talk of Christ, preach of Christ, and rejoice in Christ."
