Disagreement with and criticism of is not persecution or hostility.

Christianity has earned some deep criticism and an overdue reckoning for their part in genocides, anti-LGBTQ+rhetoric and laws, purity culture, racial discrimination, and so forth and so on. Sweeping all that under the rug because you love Jesus isn't going to fly.

This backlash isn't actually about Jesus. Many persecuted and harmed groups .... persecuted and harmed by the church as an establishment, just to be clear since you seem to be a bit confused here ... often speak about how they like the words of Jesus and respect Jesus but they don't like His followers.

There's a reason for this. Hands down most followers of Christ spout empty platitudes about agape love and acceptance all the while aligning themselves with and turning a blind eye to absolute horror parading itself out their own (church) front door.

You're not being persecuted. You're being held to account and asked to atone for the epic levels of hurt the followers of Christ have dished out with rabid glee at everyone else in His name. As long as you continue to walk amongst them with your head down and your blinders on, that's going to be the case.

If you find that to be too hostile you have a few options. Find a new, more honest path and separate from that group. Start actively working to change the course of your group to be more in line with the actual teachings of Christ, condemning in strong language those that are spreading hate in the name of the One you claim you love. Have the common decency to stop spouting empty platitudes about love in response to that well deserved criticism; it's gaslighting adjacent so you'll need to stick your head further in the sand so you can't hear the cries of pain from the millions of spiritually hurt and abused across the globe. It's really not the small number you suggest.

Sure as shooting, none of them want to hear your equivocating or your whining about "hostility".
