Line 207: − − == Religious groups in America and their views on atheists == − − Pew Forum reported about various religious groups in America and their views on atheists: − {{Cquote|We asked Americans to rate eight religious groups on a “feeling thermometer” from 0 to 100, with higher numbers indicating warmer, more positive feelings and lower numbers indicating colder, more negative feelings. On average, [[Roman Catholic Church|Catholics]] give atheists a rating of 38, and [[Protestantism|Protestants]] give them a frosty 32 – lower than either group’s ratings for Buddhists, Hindus, Jews, Mormons or Muslims. White [[Evangelical Christians|evangelical Protestants]] express particularly cold feelings toward atheists, with an average thermometer reading of 25.<ref>[http://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2014/07/16/u-s-evangelical-christians-are-chilly-toward-atheists-and-the-feeling-is-mutual/ U.S. evangelical Christians are chilly toward atheists – and the feeling is mutual]</ref>}}
