As you might suspect, the Friendly Atheist is an Atheist website dedicated to promoting Atheist causes. So, it should come as no surprise that they would publish an article entitled White Christians Are More Racist than Non-religious People, Claims Researcher.

The researcher they are referring to is Robert P. Jones. Jones is the CEO and founder of The Public Religion Research Institute (PRRI). According to its own website, PRRI is a “nonprofit, nonpartisan research and education organization that conducts public opinion polls on a variety of different topics, specializing in the quantitative and qualitative study of political issues as they relate to religious values.” Jones touts himself as a practicing Christian, and is basically the liberal counterpart to George Barna. He writes primarily for media outlets such as Sojourners, The Atlantic, NBC Think, The New York Times and Americans United for Separation of Church and State, and is often a featured guest on CNN, MSNBC, and NPR. Before founding PRRI, Jones worked as a consultant and senior research fellow at various think tanks in Washington, D.C., and was an assistant professor of religious studies at Missouri State University.
