More on: Religious persecution

The podcast episodes provided cover various aspects of religious persecution, including the targeting of religious minorities, the forced practice of faith in secret, and the use of religion as a justification for violence and human rights atrocities.

For example, the Armenian Genocide episode discusses the persecution of Armenian Christians in the Muslim-majority Ottoman Empire, while the Global News Podcast episode touches on the persecution of Christians in Iran. The Glenn Beck Program episode also mentions the Biden administration's perceived 'weaponizing' of institutions against religious groups like Catholics.

These episodes highlight how religious persecution can take many forms, from systematic killings and forced displacement to the suppression of religious freedom and the scapegoating of minority faiths.
