This is a fascinating article and a must read. It actually studies the question, "Is there disdain for Evangelicals in American Universities?" Answer: Yes! (We are so shocked at this, who would have known). The article points out that when interviewed professors expressed disdain for Evangelicals and Mormons. They were fine with virtually every other religious sentiment. Here is a revealing paragraph from the article:
If a majority of faculty said they did not feel warmly about Muslims or Jews or Latinos or African Americans, there would be an outcry. No one would attempt to justify or explain those feelings. No one would say, 'The reason they feel this way is because they don't like the politics of blacks or the politics of Jews.' That would be unthinkable," Tobin said.
Thus proving that Evangelicals are the last acceptable people of whom one can be intolerant!
