Ahh yes a graph without citation of research, lovely

Study is done by "TheFire.org," which is described as a competitor to the ACLU.

I know... why do we need a competitor to the ACLU?

Well, per Wikipedia: "FIRE has been described as a competitor of the ACLU. In 2021, the organization had an annual revenue of $16.1 million. FIRE has received major funding from groups which primarily support conservative and libertarian causes, including the Bradley Foundation, Sarah Scaife Foundation, and the Charles Koch Institute."

Oh Charles Koch, you scoundrel.

They have unmatched methods. Is there any other place on the internet with 2024 college free speech rankings?

If this graph isn't just made up bs in the first place, one thought I recall from every major college campus I've been to is random religious preachers camped out every day telling everyone they're evil, subhuman, and going to hell. Guessing the atheists find that a little more annoying and worthy of shouting back at than some of the religiously inclined.

Nazi: "white power!"
Normal people: "hey, stfu!"
Cristian Conservatives: "hey I don't agree with it but let's hear him out. Some people might agree, his ideas deserve to be discussed and given a platform"

Alternatively:

Reasoned person: "We should help poor people"

Christian Conservatives: "STFU you woke liberal piece of shit, I hope you die! Go suck Biden's dick, loser"

Lumping 'always' with 'sometimes' is cooking your results to meet your objective.

There seems to be an innate need for religion.

For whom? Because I sure as shit don't have any need to believe in fairy tales.

reminder that every time people complain about wokeness they're literally just complaining about being conscious about systemic racism, because that's what woke means.

Just replace "woke" with "being a decent person" and it becomes pretty clear what these people want.

What does it mean to "Shout down a speaker"? What are they speaking about and what is the purpose of shouting at them?

These open questions are always kinda crap to draw conclusions from because we don't know how the question was interpreted by the people answering. In this case we also don't know the sample size of the groups. Could also be a multitude of other variables at play like location because there are few places where you can find all these religions while getting a good sample size and controlling for other variables like income, education, age etc.

And does it apply only to verbal, podium speech, or also to written books and speech by people in [drag] costume.
