I thought it was some abbreviation for agnostic atheists or something, since I know as group, they tend to be hated, or at least, distrusted, as well. I seem to remember some poll showing that, but given how many “nones” there are now (nearing 30%), this may have declined somewhat. I’m sure the xtian taliban is salivating at the prospect of persecuting non-xtians, including atheists, the very minute they are given a permission structure from the qons in power.
For example (this is over a decade ago, so things may have shifted somewhat):
Last week, the Pew Research Center released the results of a new survey concerning who Americans would want — or rather, wouldn’t want — for an in-law. While about 10 percent of Americans said they’d be unhappy if a family member married someone of a different political persuasion, and about 30 percent of Americans said they’d be unhappy if a family member married a gun owner, nearly 50 percent of Americans said that they’d be unhappy if a family member married an atheist.
This finding comes as no surprise. Social science has long revealed high rates of secularphobia — the irrational dislike, distrust, fear, or hatred of nonreligious people — within American society. For example, a study by Penny Edgell of the University of Minnesota, from back in 2006, found that atheists come in last place when Americans are asked to rank members of certain racial, ethnic, or religious groups as potential spouses for their kids. And a Gallup poll from 2012 found that 43 percent of Americans said that they would not vote for an atheist for president, putting atheists in last/worst place behind Muslims (40 percent of Americans said they wouldn’t vote for a Muslim for president), homosexuals (30 percent wouldn’t), Mormons (18 percent wouldn’t), Latinos (7 percent wouldn’t), Jews (6 percent wouldn’t), Catholics (5 percent wouldn’t), women (5 percent wouldn’t) and African Americans (4 percent wouldn’t).
