...found that one group stood out from all others in terms of the level of rejection they received from the general public. That was atheists...Atheist strippers vs. homosexual strippers!
Like it or not, many (possibly most) Americans see religion as a marker of morality. To many Americans, "Atheists" are people who lack any basis for moral commitment.
...maybe "atheists" serves as kind of a catch-all code for "bad folks." But again, isn't that the point? And isn't it interesting that in recent years "atheist" has even outstripped "homosexual" in its negative connotations?
