hehe my last post was all j/k but really, I've never heard a Christian joke or read anything resembling a heartfelt desire to persecute Christians in any meaningful way. I'd bet it happens elsewhere but by and large you're free to believe what you want in North America right? You can believe in everything or nothing and all the things in between, a spiritual commitment comes with challenges regardless of its form. The real challenges are within, not snarky comments on the internet. Outside the internet Christians fare pretty damn well in North America.
