(33,982 posts)That's a fact. I cited source. You didn't debunk the data, nor did you attempt to.
The remainder includes religious people with no opinion, and people who don't have a religion at all, thus, excluded from the remaining total.
So no, the facts are not on your side here. No matter how you slice it, pro civil rights religious people are outnumbered. Badly. By religious bigots.
Whereas, over in the secular camp, the bigots number 18% of the group. When I say 'yes I support civil rights, I'm an atheist', one can reliably infer the extent of that support from the simple fact that I am an atheist. That's the norm. That's the supermajority of secular people as a whole.
Of religious people, pro civil rights, akin to title two protections for same sex couples, is the outlier. The minority. The fully marginalized.
One would, statistically, reliably infer you are NOT in favor if all they know about you is; one is religious.
That's great that you are both religious and in favor of civil rights and presumably a progressive or close to. Great. We need more like you. A LOT more. Tens and tens of millions more.
Meanwhile, secularism is eating into the bigoted religious holdings at a much higher pace, more effectively in the courts, etc.
