That may be conformation bias. I can personally list many atheists whose views on virtually any other subject are diametrically opposite to mine.
Nope, no bias. It has definitely been my solid observation.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
