Atheists are kinda sexy?

Definitely.

Wait, there's an article?

I believe several studies have shown that this is, indeed, a general trend.

Oh, the article is specifically about kids? I'm no expert on kids, but I'd imagine that atheist parents are more likely to encourage their kids to ask questions. That might lead to them being more accepting of differences. That's just a wild guess, though.

^ I honestly wonder why that is?

Is that because atheists don't really divide people into tribes (i.e Catholic, presbyterian) and engage in less "Group think?" Are perhaps less liable to see people as outsiders, and instead view them as part of one human family?

Correlation does not imply causation. Studies like these are useless and are often conducted to push an agenda.

The results of this study run counter to studies in the US that show christians are more giving.  The make-up of the children in this study was 43% muslim, 28% non-religious and 24% christian.  The study created a group containing children from different religions and treated it as one.  This group contained close to double the number of muslims as compared to christians and other religions were barely represented.  For example, there's a great difference between the worldview of muslims as compared to christians.

Andrew Breitbart - that renowned fountain of unbiased journalism.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'
