That’s the only way they know they’re being good Christian’s. If they aren’t being persecuted then they’re doing something wrong.

They see anything other than absolute cultural dominance in all parts of the world to be persecution. I remember being told in catholic school as a kid how America wasn’t being very tolerant of Christianity because people would do fun things on Sunday mornings.
Like practice your religion as you want and I’ll do the same with mine, but part of religion is that it’s yours.

Well, that’s because they literally turned religious persecution into a religious fetish (as in, the anthropological term “fetish”, definition 1).
It’s ingrained in Christianity so deeply that the official doctrine of the catholic church is that only those that die from religious persecution can intercede with God.
