Atheists are America’s Most Distrusted Minority
Posted in Demography, Politics/Economics on March 23rd, 2006
Based on a telephone survey of more than 2,000 households, University researchers found that Americans rate atheists below Muslims, recent immigrants, gays and lesbians and other minority groups in “sharing their vision of American society.”
The primary author behind the study believes that a fear of moral decline and resulting social disorder is behind the findings. “Americans believe they share more than rules and procedures with their fellow citizens—they share an understanding of right and wrong,” she said. “Our findings seem to rest on a view of atheists as self-interested individuals who are not concerned with the common good.”
