Preliminary evidence for an aversion to atheists in long-term mating domains in the Southern United States (Journal of Social and Personal Relationships, full study paper, October 13, 2021)

The abstract notes in their study of the most religious area of the USA (the Southeast), atheists are perceived as the least desirable for long-term relationships. That perception is ascribed to the widespread religious belief that atheists are untrustworthy in relationships.

That goes against statistics showing atheists are amongst the lowest divorce percentage of “religious” groups.

Could just be as simple as like preferring like. I certainly wouldn’t want to date a young earth creationist and would have a prejudice against the mental outlook of anyone like that.
