The link isn't loading and I don't want to be the 'crazy methodology guy' but you have to wonder how such extreme results are possible.

Huh, it was working fine when I posted it, but now it won't load from a google link either.
Here's a reprint from a place called Free Rebublic:

Atheists identified as America’s most distrusted minority, according to new U of M study

What's fun at this place is to read the comments that follow the article. Maybe they can give us an idea of how these results were possible.

I'm going to strap a bomb to my chest for Darwin, you god-fearing infidels! Muhahahha!. Sarcasm aside, I can understand why. Most atheists are bitter people that would rather use ad-hominem attacks than to use reason to back up their claims.

Jesus H Christ! I feel so . . . (hehe) reviled. :twisted:

Gilnei- The "War on Christmas" refers to the supposed attempt by atheists to remove religious Christmas displays from public places such as schools and government buildings. The right-wing god lovers in this country like to use this as a means of proving that they are being persecuted by us godless heathens. Here's a little taste of the controversy: O'Reilly: "War" on Christmas part of "secular progressive agenda" that includes "legalization of narcotics, euthanasia, abortion at will, gay marriage." Pretty cool, huh?


Oh man. I'm surprised those European heathens haven't turned their countries hell on earth by now.

It would be a nice choice to spend the generically-named holidays on.  :D

But thanks for the link. =) Back on topic now.

My brain hurts, Free Republic is about as unbiased as my right nut (as in, not very).  I'll wait until the UofW site comes back up.

Say what you will about us Americans, but damn, we sure know how to keep the world entertained, don't we?

As a member of America's most despised minority, does that mean I qualify for affirmative action?
