Why did Christians allow the institutions of their countries to be taken over?

Why is it only in formerly Christian countries that you can't say certain things without very negative consequences? In many places in Europe there are already actual hate speech laws on the books, and the speech you get in trouble for is saying anything bad about anyone except Christians. It's one thing to allow people to mock your God, but when it turns into actual persecution (as bad as not being able to participate in an industry, or worse). Why aren't Christians allowed to say 'enough is enough', or why did they not say it to begin with? Not only that, but the modern West is promoting everything anti-Christian that is under the sun.

Only in formerly Christian European countries are traditionally Christian ideas called fascist. Can they not accept that forgiveness by itself is useless? I'm an ex-Christian but now feel agnostic with vaguely Christian leanings, for reference.
