Atheists behave ‘impartially toward ingroup and outgroup partners,’ while Christians demonstrate ‘an ingroup bias’

    In my experience nice christians are a minority in their group while dickish atheists are a minority in that group (although online a very loud minority). Then even nice christians very often are still not very accepting of other ways or people following them.

    I would guess atheists are also nicer to Christians than Christians are…

    Humans are naturally tribalistic, so some ingroup-outgroup tension is a universal thing.

    However one of these groups pounds it into your head at an early age that people who think differently than them are wicked and deserve eternal torture for how evil they are.

    The other group does not do that.

    So yeah… big shocker yere.

    Atheists are generally a lot less judgey and accepting of others than religious folks
