Officials of the Institute for Jewish and Community Research say there was good news and bad in their new study of the religious beliefs and attitudes of college faculty members. The good: Higher education is religiously diverse and generally tolerant. The bad: What the San Francisco-based institute's president, Gary A. Tobin, calls the "explosive" finding that 53 percent of faculty members surveyed have negative attitudes toward evangelical Christians--the only group to be viewed so unfavorably. Next came the Mormons, whom 33 percent of the faculty members viewed negatively. To the question whether the United States would be better off if Christian fundamentalists kept their religious beliefs out of politics, 71 percent responded yes. Tobin warns that this survey shows a disturbing level of prejudice or intolerance among U.S. faculty toward tens of millions of evangelical Christians. This article presents the commentaries that have erupted on the Internet--mostly from the right and from Christian evangelicals.
