No votes for the godless

"The measure of anyone is the enemies they make." - Anonymous

The enemies of PZ Myers are blithering idiots. Should PZ be proud or disappointed?

So my being gay is less objectionable than my being an atheist. Got to love the twisted logic.

Wish I had the source handy, but there was a bit of a to do a few months back about a study that concluded that atheists are the most hated/mistrusted minority in the county.

Paul, do you mean the U&M study

For all the atheists that apparently exist...

why are none of them ever surveyed?

You also have to wonder about people who'd support more likely for traits like no college education, antidepressant use, divorce, etc. Do these people even read the question right?

Ugh, whether it's better than things used to be or not, that graph is just painful to look at :(

Kinda seems like a shotgun approach in that case though, isn't it? Make as many enemies as possible, then claim victory because some of them later turn out to be bad people...

A June 23, 1999 Fox News poll asked, "Would you consider voting for a political candidate who did not believe in God?" The responses were: Yes: 26%; No: 69%.

Wow, I made the top two categories, but none of the others. Assuming that the categories are all independent (not too likely, but what the heck), then 0.21% of people would be likely to vote for me. 11.2% wouldn't care. Everyone else would think I was an evil bastard.

Well, if I garnered 10% of the votes, I should consider that a victory then!
