Religious priming transfers prejudice most strongly toward LGBT and atheist targets
Evidence
We also calculated the overall effect of religious priming on prejudice for each target group. However, power analyses revealed that only analyses of the LGBT and atheist target groups were adequately powered (LGBT group power = .95, atheist group power = .72) so we report only the results for those two groups, summarized in Table 2.1 Both effects were significant: r = .12, [.05, .19], p < .01, for LGBT people and r = .09, [.01, .17], p < .05, for atheists. — Alexandra Snell, Miron Zuckerman, and Bonnie M.

Categorization
- QUESTION: Do these two targets share a moderator (both are perceived as overtly antireligious/secular or value-threatening) that a transfer hypothesis would predict, versus targets like Black or Arab people?
