Is There A Christian Privilege?
Like male privilege, White privilege, and the like, the easiest way to recognize Christian privilege is probably by considering a few examples.
- An American Christian can affix a Jesus fish to his or her car without having to give vandalism a second thought. And yet, I do not get to place any sort of symbol promoting science, reason, or atheism on my car for fear of vandalism or assault. The same goes for t-shirts.
- The state of Florida actually exempts faith-based day-care centers from state inspection and licensing while requiring both of secular day-care centers.
- Christian billboards are commonplace, but atheist billboards are typically met with vandalism, protests, and calls to the billboard owner.
- Public school teachers may come under fire for criticizing religion but are expected to criticize every other form of idiocy.

Isn’t that last point where this all goes wrong? Wearing a “Jesus Loves Me” T-shirt is a whole lot less likely to draw fire than a “You Christians all suck” T-shirt. But they’re not equivalent T-shirts.
