I don't find it surprising in the least that atheists (aka: skeptics) score higher in anti-sociability. I know for me, I'm skeptical of anyone who appears to have it "together." Something is normally lurking just below the surface... that's my experience anyway. What is it that is usually said about mass murderers, psychopaths, and serial killers? They seemed like "nice," "normal," "quiet" people. Not that atheists are murderers or psychopaths, but I think they realize that looks can be deceiving, which doesn't always invite a lot of sociability. *shrugs*
