(If your religion makes you behave like an asshole, then you will become a target)
Which religious group is most persecuted online?
You might guess a religious minority. An unpopular one, for sure.
But according to the Pew Research Center, the group most likely to say they’re harassed online because of their faith is… white evangelicals.
Among the 41% of Americans who have experienced online harassment, 29% of white evangelicals said the cause was likely their religious views. 21% of atheists felt that way, while only 15% of Catholics said the same thing.
