    Mark Alan Smith Department of Political Science University of Washington Right from Wrong: The Folly of Religious Arguments about Morality Forthcoming 2022 Prometheus Books Chapter 3 Discovering Morality through Inclusive Deliberation Atheists are strikingly unpopular, especially in America. When asked several years ago whether they “would disapprove if my child wanted to marry” an atheist, 44% of Americans said yes, much greater than the number for African Americans (23%), Jews (18%), and Hispanics (13%).1 Only 58% of Americans would vote for a well-qualified candidate from their party who happened to be an atheist, whereas many more would vote for someone who was Catholic (93%), female (92%), Black (92%), Mormon (81%), or gay or lesbian (74%).2 Many atheists report being ostracized from their families after publicly declaring their non-belief in God,3 and résumés that mention a person’s affiliation as an atheist are less likely to get a response from prospective employers.4 These negative attitudes toward atheists reflect a common belief that they readily lie, cheat, and steal when it serves their interests. Research documenting those perceptions has been 1 conducted by psychologist Will Gervais, who developed a clever test to capture beliefs about who commits the greatest number of moral transgressions. He found that Americans think atheists are much more likely than members of groups defined by race, religion, and sexual orientation to commit murder, engage in incest, kick a dog, cheat at cards, disrespect an employer, eat human flesh, ridicule an obese woman, and renounce national and family ties.5 In a country where nearly half the population deems it “necessary to believe in God to be moral,” as one survey indicates, atheists seem to threaten order and decency.6 As it turns out, Christian apologists are usually more generous than the general public when talking about atheists.

    MAGAZINE USCFOR FRIENDS AND ALUMNI OF THE USC GOULD SCHOOLLaw OF LAW ISSUE 17 | FALL/WINTER 2020 RISING TO THE OCCASION In unprecedented moment, Gould community takes action dean’s message This past year has been filled with unprecedented challenges and changes. But in the face of difficulty, the members of the USC Gould School of Law – from alumni and students, to faculty and staff – have risen to the occasion. They have answered the call to help their clients, the community and, of course, one another, under extraordinary circumstances. I hope this magazine serves as a proud reminder of the strength and perseverance of our Gould Trojan Family. Among the stories in this special issue, we highlight the inspiring work — accomplished remotely — of our clinics and their students to help small businesses navigate new pandemic-related policies; help a brain cancer patient at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles reunite with his parents from Mexico; and help provide legal guidance to a nonprofit startup that distributes donated personal protective equipment to hospitals nationwide. In addition, we spotlight the role of Gould alumni in contributing to Keck Medicine of USC’s Care for the Caregiver program, which supports health care workers on the front lines. We are also excited to share news of two transformative student scholarship gifts, each topping $1 million. David Howard ( JD 1970) and his wife, Susan, established a new scholarship complementing the support provided through the C. David Molina First-Generation Professionals Program. The new Rosalie and Harold Rae Brown Scholarship includes funding toward merit scholarships for law student applicants, with positive consideration given to students who self-identify as African American.
