I don't necessarily agree with torture under all circumstances...except for democrats. Torture against them is OK even if you're just doing it for fun. Restrain them then cut up their welfare checks, their SSI checks, and their food stamp debit card if really want to make them scream. If you want to hear the absolute nadir of blood-curdling screams however, wave a job application form under their noses. Even the UN considers that torture most egregious.
Which category, as a matter of curiosity?1) I'm Christian and fully opposed to torture.
And yet the data from the survey would appear to imply that what they feel free to do is not support torture to the same extent as the various sects of Christians.2) Atheists don't believe in God so they aren't bound by a moral standard. Without a moral standard they feel free to so as they will.
Yes, I believe atheists are more moral.
On a fundamental level, they do what is right because it is right. When an atheist does charity work or gives to a charity, there is no ulterior motive. Religious people do it because of the reward promised or the threat of burning in hell.

Is that 'White Evangelical Protestant'?1) The New Testament "category."
I interact with a few (self declared) on forums. There's a small crossover, but Republican Christians appear to support torture far more than atheists or Democrats. In fact they're really for it. Some atheists and Democrats support torture.2) I don't know even one Christian who supports torture of any sort and most of my Christian friends (and family members) belong to different denominations.

Do you accept the data shown in the OP? Admittedly all the Christian categories included 'white'.
I don't know that anyone said a qualifier was necessary. One may be useful to correlate with other data. Nor do I know which bubble you've popped. One of your own invention I'm guessing.
Are you blind? Those were category labels in the graph in the OP under discussion. Did you not bother reading it?No ... just that bubble that's blinded your sense of good judgment.
You clearly have a problem with "white evangelical Protestants." In one sentence you use three qualifiers: a) white Christian, b) evangelical Christian, c) Protestant Christian. However, one needs not be white, evangelical, or Protestant to be a Christian.
I don't understand. What are the extremist sides and to what condemnations do you refer?Neither extremist side is acting morally with the condemnations.
