Took me exactly 15 minutes. Thanks for posting this.

It took me longer than the 5 minutes they said, because I really had to think about some of the questions asked. I was surprised to realize that much of the discrimination I felt in the past has diminished, and things are much better now than they were decades ago when I first came out as atheist.
Can't wait until next year to see the horrifying statistic that says something like "80% of all secular people have seen discrimination from their own family and friends, and in the workplace"

@TheMiddleWay if they said only 10% I wouldn't believe it because the purpose here is to show how religious persons reject their own family, so that they have evidence to justify their political claims.
What's inaccurate about it is it only takes secular and non-religious people into account, ignoring others. This study will not show how many people have been ostracized by their own family and friends, so we have no way of saying if secular and non-religious people actually have a harder time.
Basically all modern social studies are like this and I agree, it's a abomination to science and an expensive demonstration of the total lack of integrity within the political sphere.
I tried. The print was too light and too small to read.

@KKGator You can generally increase print size by pressing control shift and + several times in a row.
@Stephanie99 Thank you.
I went to the site and all I found was a way to donate, no survey. What is wrong?

I think the survey expired. I may have only been up for a week or two. I don't know. Thanks for trying though.
There appears to be a co-mingling of agnostic or atheist belief and a general persecution of individual freedoms as a whole. My experience has been that the persecution comes primarily from a small subsets of misinformed Christian religious denominations that has taken hold in specific geographic locations. Regrettably the source documentation, normally the bible, has been retranslated so many times to reflect personal agenda that one must literally be fluent in ancient Hebrew, Aramaic, and Koine Greek to understand what was said. One would then need a good background in its history to understand the nuances. Fortunately the Koran and Torah are both preserved in their original languages and I have not had any experience with other religious beliefs attempting to enforce themselves on the masses.
