Believers, if you mistrust atheists, does this study ring true for you?

Asked by Simone_De_Beauvoir (39052points) December 3rd, 2011

In this new study, it was found that religious believers mistrust atheists more than they mistrust gay people or feminists (these being collapsed with evil makes a queer feminist atheist such as myself feel particularly good). In fact, they mistrust atheists almost as much as they mistrust rapists (awesome, isn’t it?)

I want to know if there are any specific reasons people can give me for mistrusting atheists more than those who are gay or feminist. Obviously, you may be a believer who has no issues with atheists or gay people or feminists (please then specify your religion), why do you think lack of religion scares believers more than people who are ‘committing sodomy’ or ‘going against god’s wishes for women’?
