This is so stupid. The statistics are extremely biased. They mix races, nationalities, religions. . . what is a "conservative Christian" anyway? If they wanted a REAL survey, they would have asked:

Which religion(s) do you hate:

none

all

Deists

those without religion / atheists

those without religion / agnostics

Christian / Catholics

Christian / Protestants

Christian / non-denominational

Christian / all creationists

Jehovah's Witness

Latter Day Saints

Islam / Shiite

Islam / Sunni

Buddhism

Hinduism

Satanists

Neo-Paganism / Wicca

Neo-Paganism / non-denominational

etc

etc

etc

Therefore, the survey is NOT accurate. I've always thought that Catholics and Jehovah's Witnesses are the most hated religion. Anyone who hates any religion hates them, unless they themselves are a practicing member.

Ignorance is bliss, it has been my experience that people from Europe and Asia are more educated then Americans. Such ignorance leads to distrust and hate exhibited by the American populace towards Atheists.

Interesting. I bet most Americans know the difference between then and than...



Vocal atheists who want to ban everything that has anything remotely to do with religion are why many may dislike atheists. For instance, those who were so 'offended' by the little cross on LA's county seal, they felt the need to file a lawsuit.
