It has a lot to do with religious folks labeling themselves as an oppressed minority while being an overwhelming majority with tremendous power worldwide, especially in political leadership. For Christians, it's an immediate reflex response to what religious folks don't recognize is blasphemy, bringing up religion as the answer to a question nobody asked. I recognize that I just posted an America-default comment.
You're forgetting the fact that many Christian sects are minorities and often sects hate/persecute each other, especially historically. Christianity comes in about 45,000 flavors. And many of them are radically different from each other.
And if you're not a member of one of those specific groups they all look pretty much the same, and express the behavior I described in my comment. They may use their "minority" status as a predicate to making war with each other, but that wasn't what I was talking about.
Do all Asian people look the same to you too?
