First, one of the authors teaches at Notra Dame. Secondly, there are explanations fo a lot of their ocnclusions they barely touch on. But I would remind you that the last bastion of racism is and has been the bible belt. Explain that one? Sure they are good neighbors if you are white :>). From your article: "So, does religion help or harm our civic life? The answer is a little of both. Religion means less tolerance but more neighborliness. And the reason for that neighborliness is not found in what religions teach but in the communities they form."" Liberal atheists form communities too. They should have compared them like the liberal neighborhoods in Portland Oregon.
