Is Christianity under attack in the US? If yes, more so than in Europe or other nations with a largely Christian history?

I'm in a poor position to judge what's currently going on elsewhere in the world, but from what I see and read, it would appear to be just the opposite. Fundamentalism is stronger in America than most other parts of the world.

It's not under attack so much as getting what it had coming to it for 400 years of hegemonic, intolerant, hypocritical domination of non-whites, women, non-believers, and people of other religious faiths. Pull a spring hard enough, and it may just whip you in the face.

How? 78% of Americans describe themselves as being Christian. What Majority is persecuting the minority Christians?
-
yeah it is under attack..under attack by reason and common sense and critical thinking....I guess you can tell who's side I am on.

It would really depend on what you call being "under attack". This is just my opinion, (and don't get me wrong because I know very many very good people who are Christians) but, as a non-Christian in the US, I can safely say that the churches of almost every Christian denomination has made it their mission to damn, cast out, make life hard for, or proselytize non-Christians. If the churches are feeling any heat because of it then, I'm sorry to say, it may very well be deserved. Most Christians, I've found, are good people. Their churches/organized bodies could learn a lot from them.

If anything is under attack in the US is sanity and common sense, and guess who's doing the persecution? Europe has more common sense than to feed the frenzy of these nuts

I would say that the opposite is true. The US is under attack by fundamentalist Christians.

I can think of at least 4 people who attack Christianity on a daily and hourly basis, based on ignorance and bigotry. The others haven't found this question yet.

Christianity in Europe is a joke. Everyone says they are born to it but don't go to church. No idea what percentages but everyone i've ever met said that. It's just tradition. Especially in Scandinavia. Osara

Christianity on a whole is, thankfully, slowly starting to die out in Europe. Hopefully it will, eventually, be relegated back to where it belongs, in the church and nowhere else. In Britain the church has gone to the desperate measures of refusing people the right to remove their names from the baptism registers. Only because they can use these to artificially inflate the figures for the number of christians in the country. It's a final delusional act in the swan song of christianity in Britain.
