Christians persecute Muslins. Muslins persecute Christians. Buddhists persecute Muslins. Christians persecute Jews. Muslins persecute Hinduism. It is not a Christian thing, it is a religion tradition all over the world to persecute other religions. Christians have done this for millennia and sometimes they are victims themselves. I think the solution is to stop with the craziness altogether.

Maybe in a perfect society, we could get all these religions to form a persecution ring, where every religious group can persecute on other and get persecuted by one another. A perfect stable balance of victimness and evilness. Imagine what happens with blame and crazyness, like for example from the social justice cult, when you put them into such a accelerator.

Persecution of minorities is a human psychological reflex shared by all living human beings. If you got rid of religious differences you would just end up with more energy going in to race, political teams, and whatever else.

  That's actually not true, since we're able to see these types of societies in the present timeline and none of what you just described exists in any appreciable, sufficient manner. In fact we see the exact opposite, to the point where right leaning citizens tend to besmirch the pro social practices of the government. It's amazing that these types of unexceptionally wrong perspectives, especially whimsical bio-truths, continually get posted on this forum.

When Buddhists persecute Muslims in Myanmar, it isn't because Buddha told them to do so. But when Muslims persecute yazidis, it is because Mohammed did so, and Quran has verses allowing it. To stop with the craziness, one should look at what motivates and incentivizes the craziness. And it turns out some religions are crazier than the others.

  Religious flamewar is a bannable offense on Hacker News, and a comment like this really pours fuel on the fire. Please do not post like this here. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html
