American Voters Prefer Muslims to Atheists

Ronald Bailey | September 10, 2007

A new poll of American voters reports that atheists are less popular than Muslims. To wit:

Sixty-one percent of those questioned said they would be less likely to support a presidential candidate who did not believe in God. Forty-five percent said the same for a Muslim contender.

Only 5 percent or fewer said they would be likelier to support candidates who were atheists.

It appears that for most American voters, Richard Dawkins, Sam Harris, Daniel Dennett and Christopher Hitchens can just go to Hell.
