Ignorance Is A Blister...On My Ass

A recent study makes atheists the pariahs of today's society.

[...] university researchers found that Americans rate atheists below Muslims, recent immigrants, gays and lesbians and other minority groups in sharing their vision of American society.” Atheists are also the minority group most Americans are least willing to allow their children to marry. [emphasis mine]

Perhaps their vision is a theocracy? In that case, I'd agree that atheists would be least likely to share that vision (actually blind atheists, but those are the people I get to sh*t on, right?). And don't worry, we don't want to marry your f**ked up kids anyway.

Many of the study'’s respondents associated atheism with an array of moral indiscretions ranging from criminal behavior to rampant materialism and cultural elitism.

The equating of atheism with moral turpitude is like equating Catholicism with sanity. One does not imply the other. If they did, our prisons would be filled with atheists and our sanitariums with non-Catholics and neither of these is the case.

The article continues that the more religious, uneducated, unworldly and [I'm guessing here] conservative leaning politically, the more likely you are to hold the above beliefs. Praise Jeebus I'm not part of that group.
