[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, that study doesn't seem very scientific.  Subjects were told to choose between "teacher", "atheist teacher", and "rapist teacher".  Those were the only choices given, and I'm assuming they were told they must select one.  Sorry, but I can't give this study any credit whatsoever.  I hope it wasn't government funded- I'd be pretty annoyed if my tax dollars went to pay for that one when there are a lot more important research questions out there.[/quote]

The study was not limited to those 3 options. No matter the options, the atheists were consistently chosen as the least trustworthy. [b]You can find the study online[/b]. [/quote]

Please show me where.  All I can find is the abstract (without purchasing the article):

Sorry, I still don't think this is scientifically rigid.  Who funded this study?    [/quote]
