Sploid: America hates atheists

Sploid: America hates atheistsThey are our friends and neighbors, more than 9 million of them walk among us, virtually undetectable, and the U.S. hates them. More than any other minority, atheists are the most reviled in all the land.

The University of Minnesota’s department of sociology surveyed more than 2,000 people via telephone. Researchers asked Americans who they felt "shared their vision of American society.”

More than more than blacks or gays or immigrants or even Muslims, atheists are viewed as the least American. And they are the last people folks would want their children to marry.
