We're not "immune" to it at all, but if you see the title of the study,Theists are "more likely to believe fake news", IE: Atheist's aren't immune to it, but we are more aware that you should look into things compared to most fundamental theists who believe in a lot of things, based on faith alone.

Edit to add:

Re: what he's delivered on and what he hasnt - Trumps promises and progress

TL; DR - He 100% delivered on Tax cuts, announcing his supreme court nominee and bombing IS. The rest is sketchy at best, while everything else is total BS (Hows that wall getting on?).  Some things he did did deliver are aren't good either, like getting out of the Paris Climate Deal, because he thinks Climate change is made up.

The overall point here, is this study shows that theists are "more likely" to believe fake news than Atheists. It doesn't mean we don't from occasion, but you get the idea.

your link is fake news.. in that not everything listed was a campaign promise, at least not to the degree your source says for starters the moving the embassy from televeeve to israel is done minus the renovations being made to a current structure. the embassy exists but is under construction slated to be done in a few more months.. by the sounds of your fake news report the whole thing stalled.. such is most of the 1/2 promise kepts selections. In that trump has done everything he can to keep a promise but the logistics on most simply has not caught up. Presidential approval is not like God calling light out of darkness. meaning trump or the office of the presidency does not have instant authority. like the renegotiation of nafta there are 2 other countries involved who had the best deal possible for them and now they are loosing money no matter what, so yeah it will take time. but in the mean while trump has gotten levies put on some of the major imports from canada and mexico like aluminium and timber.

So to with nato. the goal was always have them pay their fair share or pull out. this is the biggest deal ever when it comes to nato as it has always run in a american funded deficit, and now it is paying it's own way!!! but your fake new would have us believe trump settled on unplanned compromise rather than an out right dump. which is fake news in itself as trump never wanted to out right dump anything, as this is a negotiation tactic. in that have your supplier believe you do not need them or their services any more and shop around alternatives, and you can usally get whatever you want if you stay. same tactic used on the wall on nafta on the pipline on everything he does! even north korea had to believe trump was crazy and would light up the whole country as a bravado thing. but you fake newsers can't tell the rhetoric from intent.

here is a list of the top 13 promises by a source not known for trump support. https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/checking...d=52234313

here is cnn appauding trump for keeping more promises than anyone else before him is such a short amount of time.

Sorry but FUCK YOU!  I have lived next to my neighbors on BOTH sides of me since 07, they have never been violent, never caused me any concern, and have been nothing but nice to me.

GOP economics since Reagan is simply short term bubble crap. It is like an alcoholic binge drinker, who has fun for the night, but wakes up in the ER. That is how trickle down economics work. The same fucking GOP policies that gave us the Bush Jr, housing, car bank crash, are the same thing that the GOP is doing again. It will work in the short term sure, but down the road they are going to drive the economy into the ground. The way the GOP does that is to convince you everyone else is to blame accept them.

you tax break for billionares people are the dumbest on the planet. real billionares don't or never have paid their full share of taxes ever. only poor people pay taxes. I am not rich but I already know how to 'invest' to where I pay as much in taxes as my garbage man brother inlaw. and as the tax brden increases i simply doubble down on my 'investments.' the problem is I have to invest in companies like "carnival cruise lines" who's banks are not apart of the US tax system, and I have to keep rolling over this money till I get enough to put it in a fund or roth IRA retirement account where taxes are suspended if the account is allowed to mature. meaning all that money I would have in a bank here in this country for 30 years (where then the bank can use that money to lend to people like you and give me a decent return on intrest) is now sitting in some off shore bank where it is used to buy cruise ships and private islands..

What don't you morons get? why would someone like clinton who is worth 500+ million dollars want to pay 2/3s of that into the us governement to pay for people to smoke pot all day?

She wants this to get votes meanwhile she is also invested over seas where the US government can't tax her for crap! Remember her tax return she released 10.5 million https://www.chicagotribune.com/news/nati...story.html with a domestic net worth of 53 million https://www.townandcountrymag.com/societ...net-worth/

and a global net worth of hundreds of million dollars. in just one year she raised 174 million dollars, https://www.politico.com/story/2015/11/c...ary-215964 yet they paid 10.5 million in taxes that year?

it's because rich people do not pay their taxes, so when trump lowers tax enough to where rich people feel like they are not losing money by investing in domestic banks we are actually collecting more revenue than if this money were offshore.

One thing you guys need to embrace is that the rich reps or 'Dims' are not paying taxes like you are. the only thing happening is the dims are collecting from the bottom of the barrel/the minimum rich people must have in cash to do business and live here, while the bulk of the money made is going off shore, and the reps are collecting from america's wealth, meaning rich people are not afraid to reinvest profit back into the economy put their savings back into american based banks making loans and funding more available for people who otherwise in a bad economy would not get it..

For example if I make enough under obama close to 50% would have went to all the different government tax groups incom fica obama care and the regular medicare bits. so I loose 1/2 of my years wage to give aways.. or I can pay tax on just what i need to live 50, to 75k and dump the rest into a low yeild off shore investment and still pay 25% in fees and taxes.. even if I only make .5% on the investment I am 25% head of the game because all of it would have been consumed by the US tax system. say now I'm looking to retire.. so I get a lawyer to hlep me transfer my off shore investment even paying penalities I can transfer to a non taxable retirement account like a roth ira.. again even if I loose  1/2 of my investment I am still 50% ahead of the game, and anything the ira makes is bonus money! either way I get mine and the only looser here is the american people. because if I have to pay 25 to 30% in fees and freign taxes and trump only wants 20% then guess what I am bring my money back here where my money is more liquid and I do not have to worry about some falure in some other market..

Your only take away is nothing else...

Rich people do not pay taxes like you do. the more you have the easier it is to 'invest' in something that tax is deferred or eliminated. dropping the tax rate means trillions in off shore money is being brought back to the US economy. which is why we have an unheard of GDP @ 4%. 

Plus I like your term 'bubble' which describes unprecedented wealth and prosperity of an entire decade!!! and cash for clunkers was a 2009 obama deal not a bush era thing..

That said bush, clinton bush2 and obama were all bought and paid for by the same group of people.
