These stats and bar charts read like something out of 1984—if the Orwell classic had mentioned religion at all.

But I can’t say it comes as a great surprise. However, as Mollie Hemingway inquires in her Twitter feed: “Have the media done a good job telling us which religion is the most persecuted in the world?”

Now I know Mollie’s was a rhetorical question, but what the hey: all together now…one, two, three—NO.

Forget TBN and Harold Camping and Hal Lindsey and all the other professional doomsdayers. Here’s how you’ll know the end is nigh: the day MSNBC devotes five minutes to these numbers.

Hell, forget MSNBC, how about NBC, or CBS? Maybe, maybe, if PBS has an extra few minutes to fill on the NewsHour. And even then I bet they’d garble it up to blame the victims somehow…

But FOX might take this on, but only because it’s not a real news organization…
