Long research article. Here are a few quotes and click on the link below to read more.

quote:

Both Jews and Atheists Rate Evangelicals Negatively, but Evangelicals Rate Jews Highly


quote:

Catholics and evangelicals, the two largest Christian groups measured here, generally view each other warmly. White evangelical Protestants give Catholics an average thermometer rating of 63; Catholics rate evangelicals at 57. Evangelicals also hold very positive views of Jews, with white evangelical Protestants giving Jews an average thermometer rating of 69. Only Jews themselves rate Jews more positively.


quote:

But that warmth is not mutual: despite evangelicals’ warm feelings toward Jews, Jews tend to give evangelicals a much cooler rating (34 on average).


quote:

Republican Party tend to rate evangelicals very positively (71 on average). They also express warm feelings toward Jews (67 on average) and Catholics (66).

Where are the numbers for Muslims? How do atheists rate Jews? How are Catholics rated?

I don't think a 69 should be given if one party is cool to the relationship.

Evangelicals help Jews wield political power that they otherwise wouldn't have the numbers to justify. It's a very parasitic relationship.

Sociology at its best would have included one of the religions this nation was built on, Islam.

What were views on Islam and vice versa?

Hunh.. they didn't seem to delve into that hardly. Seems balanced and fair.

Evangelical leaders in this country have become enamored with Dispensationalism, which puts them in direct alliance with neoconservatives and the rest of the Israel Lobby. The former sees the Middle Eastern conflict as a prerequisite for the Rapture and the latters see it as an endless money pit for the military industrial complex. All of these groups are completely insane.

These people crave the end of times and the death that accompanies it, as they see it as the door to a better place. And if the end of times aren't here, let's create a world that at least mimics it. Evangelical leaders, although opposing abortion on the grounds that human life is precious, hoot and holler when Rick Perry brags about executing more people than any other governor in US history. These are also the same people who blindly support any and all American wars, which have caused more civilian deaths around the world than any terrorist group could ever conjure.

So the Christ-killers hate Christ-followers? Who'da thunk it?
