Last one from Stark: where the prejudice lies

...national surveys, which show that evangelical Christians, including persons who identify themselves as supporters of the Religious Right, are substantially more favourable towards Israel, and somewhat more favourable towards Jews in general, than are liberal Christians or the irreligious - despite the fact that evangelicals continue to support missions to convert Jews to Christianity!  Moreover a new study has demonstrated that the only significant form of religious prejudice in America is "Anti-Fundamentalism" and is concentrated among highly educated people without a religious affiliation (Bolce & DeMaio, 1999).
