Religious people are less intelligent than atheists, study finds

41. "if people were making the same kinds of blanket statements about atheists"

People are. Daily. In real life. Turn on the teevee. Check what repugs are saying daily, via teevee, print and online.

(I suspect you meant to add "here" to the statement in the subject.)

Atheists are among the most despised minorities in the USA.

I'm used to being denigrated daily just for being gay, even by atheists. When the same broad brush is used over and over, against agnostics, gays, blacks, hispanics, ppl of middle eastern origin, the poor, the hungry, the elderly, the sick, etc., etc., I simply consider the source.

I've read your posts for some time, usually without a problem. However, when you refuse to recognize/acknowledge that "big religion" has become little more than a hateful political machine spreading lies and hurting my country, I see your words in support of this machine as dreadful.

I appreciate that you're not one of the haters, but you are an enabler.
