Ilya Somin is a law professor at George Mason University who recently wrote several blog entries on prejudice against atheists, especially in the law:
- Hostility to Atheists
- More Hostility to Atheists
- Still More Hostility to Atheists
- Hostility to Atheists in the 1991 General Social Survey
- Murders of Atheists Because of Their Beliefs about Religion
Somin later massaged these posts into a more formal article, "The Final Prejudice," that was published in The Legal Times, but that article is not available online.
Thanks to Eddie Tabash for making me aware of Somin's Legal Times article.
Update: I just read all of the comments on the "Still More..." link. It is amazing, if not depressing, to read such brazen anti-atheist bigotry from some of the respondents.
