No, assuming what you posted it is accurate, this does not prove that atheists were a persecuted minority because some unknown number were allegedly burned hundreds of years ago.

In the United States, atheists were not systematically denied civil liberties, unable to work, unable to vote, unable to enjoy public accommodations, etc.  Nor does that happen today.

And you say that after being informed several state consititutions still have a requirement that to hold office you have to believe in a higher power. If that doesn't ring a bell in your head that it hasn't been a level playing field for atheists, I don't know what else to say at this point. We can agree to disagree

I wasn't informed about anything.  You gave me some combination of a cut-and-paste and your own comments.  Cannot tell which is which or where you got your info.  What is the source of your info?  You have a link?  I'd like to read it myself.
