Religion They Don't Just Hate Fags

Posted by Dan Savage on Mon, Mar 8, 2010 at 9:29 AM

No one could've predicted...

Religious people can be racist, and that's not news. But are they more likely to be racist than non-religious people? A new study now confirms this hypothesis. The February issue of Personality and Social Psychology Review has published a meta-analysis of 55 independent studies conducted in the United States which considers surveys of over 20,000 mostly Christian participants. Religious congregations generally express more prejudiced views towards other races. Furthermore, the more devout the community, the greater the racism.

Nothing new here! This study just reinforces what I've always felt but never had empirical evidence to present.

Thanks for the link!
