I have long suspected that "White" people
(which is to say "Christian" people) have a
brain that is different than non-whites.
Only whites are Christian? Obviously, you don't get out much.
Meaning "salvation" in Hebrew, it was also the most common form of the name Jesus when he was alive hence the name corresponds to the Greek spelling Iesous, from which, through the Latin Iesus, comes the English spelling Jesus. The Hebrew spelling Yeshua (ישוע) appears in some later books of the Hebrew Bible.
Consider also that secular-minded people are generally oversensitive about everything and get offended easily.

Meanwhile Christian sensibilities have been offended because of Starbucks cups...
Starbucks “wanted to take Christ and Christmas off of their brand new cups. That’s why they’re just plain red,” said this bloviating self-described “social media personality.” (It’s worth noting that Starbucks has literally not ever had Christian iconography on their cups, so these people are protesting the removal of something that was never there. America!) But of course, this patent rabble-rousing of the lowest common denominator worked: his video has been shared more than twelve million times. Make that money, buddy.

He said, Jesus died to redeem the entire world from it's sin and nothing you can say or do can undo that.
So this helped me undo all the religious fear mongering crap i was entranced into believing enabling me to live a free and once again happy, peaceful and uncondemned existance.

Here is my Friedrich Nietzsche quote:

Also, who funded this research and wanted to prove religious people are 'mean'?
It seems like anyone that started with that premise is probably agenda driven.
What they are saying is that pro-social (sharing and caring) behavoir is a natural part of biological development initially. And that growth or decay of such tendencies are more 'nurtured' by home, family and other close interpersonal modeling.

So basically you made a sweeping generalization about secularists but when I make a sweeping generalization you claim I need to "wake up"?
Pot, meet kettle.

Is this your way of declaring yourself the winner of your own trolling efforts?
