Abstract
Across seven nations (N = 1499), we investigated prejudice of religious believers and nonbelievers against beliefs-based outgroups, i.e., respectively, atheists and Christians. In the religious countries, Christians showed higher outgroup prejudice compared to atheists; but in secular countries, atheists were more prejudicial against Christians compared to Christians’ attitudes toward atheists.
