Majority Christians endorse religious-freedom victimhood claims more than claims that Christians themselves are victims.
Evidence
We conducted a within-subjects t-test to compare the endorsement of the digressive victimhood claim (religious freedom is the victim) rela tive to the competitive victimhood claim (Christians are the victim). Participants endorsed the digressive victimhood claim (M = 4.70, SD = 1.81) more than the competitive victimhood claim (M = 4.59, SD = 1.80, t(462) = −2.22, p = .027, d = 0.102). — Felix Danbold, Ivuoma N.
