Yes, i have been hated upon before. I live in the UK and since most people are atheists it really annoys me because it's so hard to get your point across! Some people, when i talk to them, they just argue about religion, i don't go near them anymore though!

Of course! It may not have been physical torture, imprisonment, or murder, but certainly lesser forms of the same. Have you noticed that on this forum there are a lot of silly question ( having nothing to do with spirituality at all ) and even some outright hostility? That is persecution.
SO yes, it is alive and well here on Yahoo Answers.

Not persecuted, but hated yes. However, persecution is on the rise and only getting worse.

Well, I'm LDS, and yes I try not to shove my beliefs down another person, that's why I didn't become a missionary because I wanted people of all walks of life to discover their own truth.
My friend a long time ago found out I was LDS, he stopped being my friend because he thought Mormons were all evil hypocrites... I told him "Whatever, I still like you even if you're an Atheist", Well he's gone now because he just had to put his agenda out there that God doesn't exist, and forces everyone to believe in it... sorry doesn't work that way.

Yes, funny thing, with all the **** I've had to go through I thought somehow a supreme being would help ease the pain of the abuse I had to deal with. I prayed with all I had left every night. No help came, in many ways I was persecuting myself from reaching my true potential. I have overcome my weakness and have become stronger than I ever imagined I could have.

roflmao. You know, I just love how Christians try to turn themselves into victims and say that they're "persecuted" even though pretty much the whole world revolves around them.
How about you come and see what its like to actually be Wiccan? To be denied the ability to have a Mid-Winter gathering in the atrium of your college because your religion is "disruptive" while the Christians are allowed to hold a prayer night around Christmas?
How about stores that are Christian centered get shut down because a bunch of Wiccans gathered outside and harassed all the customers that entered the store by passing out pamphlets on the goddess and the god? Wait, not going to happen right? Yet, that happened with a witchcraft store in my city.
We were even denied the ability to gather in the city park one Mid Winter because our celebrations were seen as "disruptive" by the city and yet the bloody Christians were allowed to hold their nativity in the park.
Oh yes... you're so discriminated against.

Many times especially when I try to defend or affirm the divinity of Jesus and His exclusivists claims.
Nobody has issues if I say Jesus is one among many ways or one in 330 Million gods of Hinduism
You should hear the news from china and india for christian persecution, I think that day is near in Europe and USA
“If the world hates you, you know that it hated Me before it hated you. If you were of the world, the world would love its own. Yet because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you. Remember the word that I said to you, 'A servant is not greater than his master.’ If they persecuted Me, they will also persecute you. If they kept My word, they will keep yours also. But all these things they will do to you for My name’s sake, because they do not know Him who sent Me. ...
“He who hates Me hates My Father also.... But this happened that the word might be fulfilled which is written in their law, 'They hated Me without a cause.’" John 15:18-25

My wife is a Christian. She made the mistake of playing a Christian CD. Her employer is a Muslim. She got fired.
Praise God when we get persecuted for His name's sake. I count it for joy when I get persecuted in the name of Jesus. Jesus said when this happens rejoice and be glad.
