As much as I hate to admit it, I think racism has nothing to do with religious beliefs. While religions usually profess loving all others, people will leave church and continue to act the way their local society acts. There are definitely differences in racism in different geographic locations in the US, but you will find it everywhere. I do also want to state that this is not just a problem in the US, but it exists everywhere I have ever traveled.

I suppose the most simple answer is that most racists are in the A believer group, just because on a worldly scale there are more theists than atheists. It is completely natural to fear that which we do not know or understand, and people of different religions or races do fall into that category. Very few people would label themselves racist, however, I believe that everyone posses prejudice, and everyone is aware of their own prejudices, thus making everyone, to a point, a sexist, a racist, and an ageist.

It's probably close, but unfortunately I'd have to say group A. Racism in not an invention of the western world either. There is plenty of racism in the rest of the world.

I think it's rather impossible to tell. People are born and raised in homes that profess to be Christian and really aren't. Some are born in homes that are atheist. But one thing is for sure, that Racism is alive and well and it extends beyond the boundaries of just skin color. It includes religion, ethnicity, social status, and a whole range of different things people can't control.

D. Not possible to tell.
Some atheists are racist, some believers are racist, but not all of either group is racist, so it would take alot of research and polling to know for sure.

I think the atheists will answer; 'more theists are racists'
and the theists will answer; 'the atheists have more racists'
I think religion encourages sectarianism and racism
