Agreed, that's why Quakers were persecuted so much, spiritual equality - even for women - disgusted and terrified most other Christian sects. But nothing is straightforward, Richard Nixon was a Quaker.

About them being persecuted by other sects, well, think about it, what's more Christian than that, really

Exactly, as a percentage of population, the European wars of religion killed more people than most other conflicts.

I meant more like being persecutes by states and the world's principalities for daring to stand with the meek thing

Yeah, that's true - but there's no group that is 100% pure, and i dont think its because they're all corrupt, I think it's just due to the law of large numbers. Generally, the Quakers as a group have been much more good than not, more than you can say about a lot of secular groups
