Narrative Fail.
Despite a divisive election campaign that saw a significant spike in hate crimes against minority religious groups, Americans’ views of almost all religious groups have become more favorable in recent years, a new survey indicated. Respondents to a Pew Research Center survey, released Wednesday, were asked to rate eight religious groups as well as atheists on a “feeling thermometer.”
Jews were viewed the most popular, garnering a mean rating of 67 on a scale of 0 to 100, similar to the findings of a survey in 2014. That put the group one point ahead of Catholics and two points ahead of mainline Protestants. Evangelical Christians were the only group to see their rating remain unchanged, at 61.
Muslims saw their rating boosted from 41 to 48. However, they remained the group viewed least warmly.
