Atheists--America’s most distrusted minority

Atheists, who account for about 3 percent of the U.S. population, are seen as a threat to the American way of life by a large portion of the American public. Many associate atheism with an array of moral indiscretions ranging from criminal behavior to rampant materialism and cultural elitism.

And yet, I'm often struck by the dishonesty of people for whom their religion seems to be so important. Does that mean they'd be even more immoral without their religion?
