New Study Examines Anti-Atheist Discrimination in the Workplace

On March 4th, authors Kimberly Rios, Leah Halper, and Christopher Scheitle published an article titled, "Explaining anti-atheist discrimination in the workplace: The role of intergroup threat" in a journal by the American Psychological Association (APA). This study claims that people are more biased against atheists expressing their lack of belief versus theists expressing their beliefs, particularly in the workplace environment. Rios referred to atheists as "one of the most disliked groups in the United States," as atheists are viewed less warmly in the US versus Christians, Jews, and Muslims. In the study's conclusion, Rios and her team explained that the result of the three studies refers to atheists as being members of an “outgroup.” They stated that such discrimination might have something to do with the fact that Christians, Jews, and Muslims "fall under the broader umbrella of 'religious,' whereas atheists are a separate category altogether."
