    Religious people are more tolerant of different viewpoints than atheists, according to researchers at a Catholic university.

    The findings also said that the strength of a person's belief in either atheism or religion is directly correlated to how intolerant they are.

    • This statement is a crock. Religious people do not have any sort of monopoly on ethics or acceptance. Not at all.monospaced
    • But apparently, some religoius groups seem to be very tolerant of pedophiles, child rapists, perverts, and tax frauds, though.monospaced
    • 'Monopoly'? I think the implication is that people comfortable with their belief or otherwise don't feel the need to resort to absolutes?detritus
    • @mono. You are clearly a closet muslim. You always protest far too much. Maybe read the article before displying your intolerance.Morning_star

    • @pango. How is that in any way comparable? Which parts of the scientific research and findings have been suppressed?Morning_star
    • lol Morningstar, mad respect as always, but considering their conclusion as infallible until someone shows otherwise is pretty stubborn, dude.monospaced
