Ake Green served no time. None. Zip, zilch, nada.
The "Repent Now" people were targeted for arrested solely because of the religious nature of their protest.
If by "religious nature of their protest," you mean "public disruption and disturbing the peace to the brink of possible violence, so that the police were forced to arrest them when they refused to move on," then yes, I would agree with that statement.
As for the EMT and the Nurse, they "lost their job because the would not [participate in] an abortion, just as I said.
Actually, you said "refusing to perform." Regardless, if you won't do your job, you get fired for not doing your job. That's how it works. Those two examples weighed the value of their religious beliefs against the value of retaining their jobs, and chose their religious beliefs. That's all well and good, and bully for them, but don't go crying about getting fired when you have clearly demonstrated an unwillingness to do your job.
While you may feel that these things are unfair, they hardly rise to the level of persecution, and frankly I don't feel that the results were particularly unfair.
It seems to me as though you wish to have total freedom to do or say anything as long as it conforms with your religious beliefs, and then expect that there should be no consequences when your words or actions bump up against the rest of the world. Sorry, you don't live in a bubble. When you break the law by actions that breach the peace, you get arrested. When you refuse to do your job, you get fired. IT IS NOT PERSECUTION, IT IS REALITY. Get with it.
Now, now, now. People are going to the barricades in Paris as we speak to defend the right to keep your paycheck without doing your job. ;-)
"It seems to me as though you wish to have total freedom to do or say anything..."
You've made up your mind. You don't seem to like facts. I see no point in discussing this further. If you need more information get David Limbaugh's book.
