Statistical analysis from a Cambridge University report revealed that religious intolerance — such as antisemitism and Islamophobia — is a bigger driver of prejudice than ethnicity or nationality in the modern world.

Data from the survey strongly suggests that religion is perhaps one of the last prejudices people are comfortable openly expressing.

Attitudes between faith groups also tend to be less positive than between ethnic groups.

While a majority think diversity is a good thing, around a third of that majority think things are moving too quickly.

Does that give us an idea of where things stand and where they may be headed? Perhaps the data is telling us something hopeful about possible routes out of divided and divisive circumstances and away from further polarization?
