Those states may have higher atheist or agnostic populations, but the majority of the time, the percentage of people who are in a religion or believe in a higher power(not even talking about religious people) trumps those who are atheists or agnostics. So that point was irrelevant. The fact that you attributed low education to belief in religion shows your ignorance. Maybe you should be blaming education or the lack of education when talking about prejudice, but that has nothing to do with belief in God. With or without religion, these people would be prejudiced. Religion statistics are flawed a lot of the time anyways. You say that people with higher educations and economies have high atheist populations, but I would say that the majority of kids in the hood like Chicago for example are atheists or agnostics. Now would you say those kids are uneducated because of their belief or would you say that their lack of education and support system. Also what does Europe failing as a country because they unwisely combined church and state have to do with anything? I can show you plenty of countries that had the church and state completely separate and were horrible so it makes no sense to use that example.No it's not flawed at all. When you look at many European countries who by far lead the world in Agnostic/Non-Religion statistics within the population, you'll see that many of those countries are very welcoming of homosexuals and lead the way in civil-human rights.
Certain parts of America are very similar as well. It's not a coincidence that the percentage of people with a higher level of education or economic powerhouses located in specific cities/states in this country have a much higher Agnostic/Atheist population. The Northeast, Cali, Pacific Northwest, etc. Thats the way it is. You can't refute that.
Think about Europe 60-80 years ago, how many god damn problems they had. The population during that time almost all followed and had faith in organized religion. Now things are a hell of a lot calmer and a hell of a lot more sane.
Not only are the numbers there, but common sense as well.
Also show me your statistics, I can easily show stats that show certain races are superior in the same way you find atheism superior to religion. You see what's wrong with that way of thinking?
