No, really? Sounds kinda like that "clingy" thing Senator Obama mentioned.
PRINCETON, N.J., April 7 (UPI) -- A series of Gallup polls reveals people in countries with a higher percentage of religious people are more likely to say tolerance for minorities is low.
The Gallup Organization conducted polls in 139 countries between 2006 and 2008.
Those countries were divided into five groups based on the percentage of those surveyed who said religion is important in their daily lives.
The polls found that religion is less likely to be important to residents of rich countries, who are also more likely to be tolerant. But Gallup said the greater intolerance reported in religious countries cannot be explained just by differences in income.
