To the leadership at George Washington University (GWU), Christians are definitely not granted unmerited favor. This blanket over-generalization is not only erroneous but absolute ignorance. Perhaps telling the Christians in Libya that were martyred would be a good idea or maybe the Christians in Egypt that were slaughtered. At any rate, is the United States so out of important discussions that there is a need to battle alleged Christian privilege?
Christian privilege now. Not only is there an unending battle with white privilege and an attempt to force "the whites" out of the diverse groups based on their skin color. Let's now push people out that follow a certain religion. This is a great example of tolerance from the people who want tolerance. Is this really how things work?
While in the US Christians are not martyred, there are certainly plenty of examples to back that unmerited favor is not granted to them.
Schools have been denied state funding for renovated playscapes on the grounds of religious affiliation. I suppose you are receiving unmerited favor when you must take your case to the supreme court. The Supreme Court did, in fact, rule that the school should receive the funding regardless of religious affiliation - "By denying a benefit to a church school because of its avowedly religious character, the state is penalizing the free exercise of religions guaranteed by the Constitution. "
I had a Christian coworker who wished to be accommodate church attendance. Because this coworker was a full-time employee and was required to have open availability, the management team essentially would not allow her to attend church. She attended church anyway, this led to infractions of tardiness, and essentially she was walked out. Not because she was a threat in the work environment, not because she was hostile, simply because she was a Christian and desired to follow her convictions. This isn’t certainly isn’t Christian privilege.
My fiance, in her current place of work, upon the realization of her religious affiliation was dubbed by her colleagues, the "Virgin Mary." This response was due to the repeated solicitations of her coworkers to "hang out" outside of the workplace.
I cannot discredit that there may be cases in which a Christian is merited favor. The testimony of a Christian infiltrates, or at least should, all aspects of their life including their work ethic. There are some employers that would make the decision to hire a person based on their ethical affiliations. If a Christian is less likely to steal from their employer and the employer makes their hiring judgment upon that possibility... the decision was made not because they are a Christian, but because a Christian has a testimony of integrity and is less of a risk. This, you might say, would be merited favor because there is a reason that a Christian would be more favorable.
Christians are stereotyped as blind, do-gooders, bigots and racists, simply because We don't align with the worldview of the outspoken. This is not, at least not good, special treatment; Christians do not receive unmerited favor.
