talk - I am talking about Paganism in all its varied flavors.

Have your kids taken away because of your spiritual path; have your former spouse change to xianity in order to find favor with a judge to go against you in divorce cases; have your business destroyed due to your spiritual path and the local sheriff/police captain turns a blind eye, because you know, your spiritual path.

See Pagan Education Network (I used to get their physical newsletter) for further stories on how xtians set out to purposely destroy people's lives because they have the audacity to exercise their freedom of religion and exploit the laws to do so.

Remember, it is okay to lie to and about someone who doesn't follow the liar's path - it's how Cult45 lies makes no difference to the xtian nationalists - it's what they are good at and give Cult45 tips on how to do so.

Interesting book - Dark Star Rising by Gary Lachman - covers how Cult45 is a natural born chaos magician and how his followers pretty much gave him his own personal magic wand to do whatever he wants. Whew, talk about a deep dive of a book. It's not light reading and you have to sit back after each section and really mull what it is you are reading.
