Amazing research. You mean to tell me 2 diametrically opposed groups dislike each other? /sarcasm
I dislike arguing with atheist, but that doesn’t mean I dislike atheists. Both of those are a far cry from hating anyone. I’m certain non of the question in those studies was “do you hate atheist?”
Honestly I would expect a minority group of typically hyper-skeptical, opinionated, vocal nonconformists with axes to grind to be on the colder side of many social scenarios.
Both sides operate with an exaggerated Pygmalion effect was my only point. I don’t hate atheist and I assume atheists don’t hate me. I assume most people’s reactions are not carefully curated speech, but reactions to beliefs and outside elements.Do you assume Christians would say something negative if u stated to them directly “hey, I’m an atheist, I was wondering why u hate me for my beliefs”

"There ought to be a term that would designate those who actually follow the teachings of Jesus, since the word 'Christian' has been largely divorced from those teachings, and so polluted by fundamentalists that it has come to connote their polar opposite: intolerance, vindictive hatred, and bigotry." -- Philip Stater, Huffington Post
