Persecuted:

To be harassed, tormented, or oppressed for one's beliefs, faith, or conviction.

In some cultures, persecution can result in ostracism, torture, and death.

An interesting variation of usage occurs in Saul's (aka Paul) conversion, where God asks "Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me?" (Acts 9:4).
