Since 2011, only two percent of Syrian refugees allowed into the US were Christians, compared to 96 percent who were Muslims.
This translates to 53 Syrian Christian refugees have been accepted by America since 2011, compared to 2130 Muslims.
This difference is far greater than the Syrian national demographic, where around 10 percent of people are Christians compared to about 87 percent who are Muslims.
It's believed the reason behind such a big disparity is America accepts are referred to them by the United Nations. It's thought many Christians purposely avoid UN refugee camps, because of fears they'll continue to be persecuted in them.
The British government is also using UN refugee camps to fulfil its pledge to take in 20,000 Syrian refugees by 2020. The first group arrived on Tuesday, the majority of which are being resettled on the Scottish Isle of Bute.
It's possible that the UK will also unintentionally discriminate against Syrian Christian refugees because of the method it's using.
The Home Office has highlighted a previous conversation between the Prime Minister had in Parliament with other MPs regarding which Syrian refugees get selected to come to Britain.
David Cameron said: "In drawing up the criteria, we will be looking at the people who are the most vulnerable, and there is growing evidence that some people are vulnerable not only within Syria but within the refugee camps themselves, so Yazidis, Christians and others - particularly children or women at risk of abuse - will all be in our scheme.
"In the interests of brevity, let me say that it will be the UNHCR [that makes the decision], but we should look at vulnerable groups - that could include Yazidis and Christians - who may, on some occasions, face dangers in the camps."
