Here is a link to a post from The New Republic about a new book by Robert Putnam (“Bowling Alone”) about the tolerance of Americans toward religious groups. The book isn’t due out for a while, so there aren’t any real numbers. We’re just going to have to take Putnam for his word.

I’ll be the first to say it: Jews. The most popular people in the world.
