Remember these? Here is where I think we are today.
Five Steps of Religious Persecution:
Stigmatizing the targeted group: check - targeted pro-life, DOMA support groups
Marginalizing its role in society: check - HHS mandate issued over bishops and other Christians' objections, eliminated prayer at school/civic functions, refused to allow Christmas creches in many cities
Vilifying it for alleged crimes or misconduct: check - slandered all clergy over child abuse of a few, attacked pro-life groups and DOMA support groups as un-American Criminalizing it: In process - petition to designate the Catholic Church as a Hate Group, penalizing HHS mandate objectors,
and finally: Persecuting it outright: coming shortly
