Christian persecution complex

This article is about the belief that Christians are persecuted within the Western world. For the actual persecution of Christians occurring in other parts of the world, see Persecution of Christians. For religious persecutions by Christians, see History of Christian thought on persecution and tolerance.

In the Western world, the Christian persecution complex is the belief, attitude, or worldview that Christians and Christian values are being oppressed by Western governments and social groups. This belief is promoted by certain American Protestant churches, and some Christian- or Bible-based groups in Europe. It has been called the "Evangelical", "American Christian" or "Christian right" persecution complex.
