The world doesn't hate us, what are we doing wrong?

"If the world hates you keep in mind that it hated me first. if you belonged to the world, it would love you as its own." (John 15:18-19)
Last time I checked, the world doesn't hate me. Sometimes I feel like it does but it's not because I'm a Christian but rather because I did something wrong. If Jesus is correct (and he always is), shouldn't the Church and this planet be at odds? Now I've heard of church persecution in places like Asia but I've never experienced it in the United States. What are we doing wrong over here?
