I don’t remember hearing about, say, Buddhists having to hide their religiosity.
There is opposition about certain specific religions, which come from the fact those religions were, and often still are, hostile towards other people. An example would be Catholic homophobia and misogyny.
tl;dr in the western world the “oppression against religion” is actually opposition against social pathologies promoted by certain religions

Of course, and you will find cases of opposition to it in eg Tibet; on the other hand the negative aspects of Catholicism might be relatively unknown there.
