Then allow me to introduce you: personal anecdotes aren't data. Your lived experience and your group's experience exist at two different levels of analysis.
And not that it matters, because everyone's experience here has been consistent with my correlation: they have negative relational attitudes, and they're also atheists. The only debate is whether the correlation is causal.
Your whole argument here has been on the basis of anecdotes. That you argue against anecdotes that don't favor you, but readily embrace them when they do, simply shows that you are not a serious person and are simply engaged in ad hoc reasoning. There's an old saying that you need to count both the hits and misses. You've counted the hits and entirely ignored the question of misses. That's what people do when they are operating under confirmation bias. I realize you likely don't think your belief is due to confirmation bias, but to quote someone I know, "people think they have more agency and intention than they do, and it isn't easy parting with those intuitions."
