If you go around saying your God is the only God and that you are his favorite people, combined with being relatively successful financially, then you're going to attract some negative attention. This is especially if your group is a small minority within a larger society (its easier for bigoted ideologies to ferment and grow when they can be openly expressed because they are about a small minority).
Then throw in the fact that what defines your group is a worldview that is itself rooted in intolerance, bigotry, and violence toward the outgroup and you've got yourself a recipe for a self-fulling prophecy of persecution.
