I'd like to see a film or book where, in order to protect themselves from "persecution" the Christians persecute other religions, to the point that they've established a theocracy, but still claim to be persecuted.
How about America, in the past?

How about America now? I know it's not a theocracy in name, but professing any belief system other than Christianity is still a political death sentence in many areas.

There are plenty of areas still were atheists are legally barred from having any public office.
History is full of maniacs, my friend, men and women of intelect, highly perceptive individuals, who's brilliant minds know neither restraint nor taboo. Such notions are the devils we must slay for the edification of pony-kind. Even if said edification means violating the rules of decency, society, and rightousness itself.

Yes and no.  Those laws are still on the books, but they're completely unenforceable.  The only reason atheists can't hold office in those areas is that those tend to be very conservative areas where people won't vote for them.

Here's the trailer for the christian paranormal activity. Though it actually looks more like Grave Encounters.

C Me Dance is on my review list. Originally it was supposed to be reviewed ages ago but I replaced it with Left Behind.

There's the story of that one king visiting the necromancer, though a lot of modern Christians now claim she was a fake much like modern mediums.

Before reading the OP, I assumed this was about the city in central China. They are a paranoid lot there; they have a whole terracotta army posted nearby, after all.

Watching the movie (Freedom of Silence) and I was greatly amused by them using THE SAME BACKGROUND MUSIC AS VSAUCE.

Glad I have no desire to watch shitty xian movies, though I am pretty sure they are full of lulz.
