But the point is that the skew is disproportionate amongst even the highly educated non-white strata here in the UK. Non-white 'closet' Atheists simply have more obstacles to face in the whole…"
Dave Schofield commented on Carnun Marcus-Page's blog post ''Atheism is for white people''"White people spent the nineteenth century spreading Christianity to the developing countries, along with disease and abuse and murder.

archaeopteryx commented on Carnun Marcus-Page's blog post ''Atheism is for white people''"@Carnun - don't you think that a lot has to do with education?

My prediction is based on the degree of mobility that exists today. In the past, races remained relatively "pure" merely because of lack of interbreeding. Today, intermarriage is common and it's hard not to notice that…"

Carnun Marcus-Page commented on Carnun Marcus-Page's blog post ''Atheism is for white people''"@Unseen: Absolutely - part of the problem Leo referred to.

Unseen commented on Carnun Marcus-Page's blog post ''Atheism is for white people''"A lot of the poor, oppressed, and underprivileged are nonwhite, and to a degree religion is part of the reason, because (not always) it can tell them that, whatever their predicament, it's the one they deserve and brought on themselves.
