Religion is Convenient for Those Uncomfortable with Questioning

[thucythucy]

21. Well, the overwhelming majority of white people--

opposed integration. But do you have evidence that this was different among white people who weren't religious? I'd be curious to see that.

As for Nazi Germany--the overwhelming majority stayed silent, unless they were directly affected by the oppression.

I guess one question to ask would be--are social activists in such situations, places where social justice activism is downright dangerous--more likely to be religious, or non-religious? What percentage of religious people are willing to speak out, as opposed to what percentage of non-religious people?

Or put it another way--looking at the people who actually gave their lives in a cause for social justice, are they more likely to be people of faith, or not?

Don't know the answers to those questions off hand, but I'd be interested in finding out.

Best wishes.
