Unfortunately, surveys still suggest atheists (and “nones”) in general are a minority in the US, although it’s growing. But yeah, that’s a true statement anyway.
I’d imagine Oklahoma is probably one of the worst, though there’s a saying in atheist communities: fastest way to make someone athiest is to make them read the Bible. On that, they might be doing atheists a service, haha.
I often use his “experiment” as an example of bad science. He had plenty of good experiments, but that one ain’t one of them.
They knew it having problems by day 2, he didn’t call off the experiment until day 5. It didn’t follow a ton of best practices, even for the time. The only silver lining is the wealthy white college kids got to roleplay getting arrested in front of their families, which while not good science, is a pretty funny prank.
