If you’re a Christian in the US, these are a bunch of unearned benefits you get that members of other faiths (or non-religious people) do not. It’s not about shame. It’s about understanding.

Following is a list of privileges granted to people in the U.S. (and many western nations) for being Christian.

If you identify as Christian, there’s a good chance you’ve never thought about these things. In response to the ever-increasing “War on Christianity” headlines, I thought it prudent to create this list. Try and be more cognizant of these items and you’ll start to realize how much work we have to do to make the United States a place that is truly safe and accessible for folks of all belief systems.

Please comment below if you have any additions or revisions to make!

Actually, most of these are simply because there is a majority of Christians.

If this were say India, you could say the same of Hindus.... Saudi Arabia? the same for Muslims. That's mostly demographics.


Not to say that there isn't Christian privilege.... within the world of RELIGIOUS PRIVILEGE.

Not the group here, clearly. But the interfaith that embraces all faiths and non-religious, but still manages to exclude atheists.
