A recent study conducted by the University of Minnesota shows that atheists are more distrusted and dispised than any other minority and that an atheist is the last person for whom Americans would vote in a presidential election. "Muslims, recent immigrants, gays and lesbians" all ranked higher than the atheists in public acceptablilty. Furthermore, Americans are "least willing to allow their children to marry" atheists.
Is there a rationale for this prejudice against atheists or is this just plain theist bigotry? Why are atheists more “despised and distrusted” than any other minority? Why do theists promote this malicious slander? Has it ever occurred to theists to judge themselves by the same standards they judge others? Didn’t Jesus say something about taking the log out of your own eye before you take the splinter out of another’s eye?
