(45,319 posts)toward anyone. The fact is that in the US, slightly more than 60% of crimes motivated by bias against a person's religion the victims are Jewish. So anyone who has concerns about bias crimes targeting any religion or any other minority group should be extremely concerned with crimes against Jewish people.
Of the 1,223 victims of anti-religious hate crimes:
60.3 percent were victims of crimes motivated by their offenders anti-Jewish bias.
13.7 percent were victims of anti-Islamic (Muslim) bias.
6.1 percent were victims of anti-Catholic bias.
4.3 percent were victims of bias against groups of individuals of varying religions (anti-multiple religions, group).
3.8 percent were victims of anti-Protestant bias.
0.6 percent were victims of anti-Atheist/Agnostic bias.
11.2 percent were victims of bias against other religions (anti-other religion).
