Abstract	Evidence of Christian privilege in America is not difficult to find. At the same time, however, Christians, particularly in evangelical settings, commonly think of themselves as a marginalized minority being overrun by the power of secular liberalism. The authors propose that "both" perceptions are accurate descriptions of reality. For this reason, interfaith dialogues can be instrumental in helping students understand the complexity of this issue and the ambiguity of their status within these categories, thus fostering spiritual and civic maturity.
