Are atheists still the most hated minority in America?

Are atheists still the most hated minority in America?
I remember the University of Minnesota, conducted a study which showed that atheists are the most despised group in the US.

But I think this has changed from 11 years ago, the amount of atheists was 6% in 2006 , now it is 22%.

The religious right don't have any political influence like during the Bush Administration.

Are Americans more tolerant of Atheists now?

I think I heard that Scientologists have surpassed us, but I don't know if that's current.
I don't believe you. Get over it.

 The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

I think it's the lepers. Parts keep dropping off at the most inappropriate times.

Muslims are most disliked group in America, says new study

Quote:Muslims are the most disapproved group in America, according to a new study, amid increasing anti-Muslim rhetoric from conservative politicians.

A new study from sociologists at the University of Minnesota, which analysed Americans’ perceptions of minority faith and racial groups, found that their disapproval of Muslims has almost doubled from about 26 per cent 10 years ago to 45.5 per cent in 2016.

Atheists were the second most disapproved group in the US, as they were associated with a "lack of morals".

Study Abstract
Quote:I don't understand why you'd come to a discussion forum, and then proceed to reap from visibility any voice that disagrees with you. If you're going to do that, why not just sit in front of a mirror and pat yourself on the back continuously?

if more were aware of it, I'd speculate prolapsers might meet with some considerable dismay/disapproval too

22%? Where do you get that number from?

I think there is more of a continuum from non-belief to wherever you think it ends in the God orbit.

I'd note that while they might be shocked at the truth, quite a few Christians in the US would be exonerated for lack of evidence should Jesusism ever be made illegal. They might not identify as 'atheist' or 'agnostic', but maintaining themselves as their own arbitrators of religious belief instead of God/Jesus/Bible takes them a very long way down Atheist Boulevard whether they want to admit it or not.
