WriterAlexis European persecution of religious minorities in the 17th and 18th centuries
Considering what we know how they behaved and how grandkids behave, could we phrase it as "European persecution of fundamentalist heretics"? As a reminder, the concept of religious tolerance was depending where exactly you found yourself in the 17/18th either "not yet invented" locally, or a rather radical and novel concept.
Or put differently, when Germany emancipated and gave full citizenship rights to Jews in the 19th century (1870) this was still revolutionary. (Irony, it led to many secular Jews that identified primarily as Germans, Antisemitism as a countermove, and the Germans learning about the dangers of electing a foreigner as their Chancellor.)
