Why You Should Come Out As An Atheist
A 2006 study found that atheists were viewed as the most mistrusted of minority groups, more so than gays and lesbians, recent immigrants and Muslims.
Responders stated that atheists were elitist and materialistic, in addition to believing that they were more likely to partake in criminal behavior.
I'm not sure if they confused the word "atheist" with "high profile Republican politicians,"
