People with no religious affiliation show less prejudice than any Christian denomination

Evidence

So if you want to know who the nonprejudiced Christians are, I think you can say, for a start, the nonfundamentalist ones, in general.’ To illustrate, 81 of the 491 parents in this study said they had no religious affiliation. These “nonaffiliated” subjects pulled down lower scores on the prejudice and other authoritarian aggression measures than any Christian denomination (Altemeyer and Hunsberger, 1992, table 3)—reaffirming the old “powerful conclusion” about nonaffiliates being relatively unprejudiced. Their means equaled 76.8 on the Ethnocentrism Scale, 49.1 on ATH, 16.2 on Posse- Radicals, and 28.0 on Trials. — Bob Altemeyer, The Authoritarian Specter, 2127
