Correlation between countries’ religiosity and attitudes toward homosexuality

In a report titled The Global Divide on Homosexuality the Pew Research Center concludes there is a strong relationship between a country’s religiosity and opinions about homosexuality.

Notable exceptions are Russia and China, which despite having low levels of religiosity exhibit significant intolerance towards homosexuality. At the same time, “Brazilians and Filipinos are considerably more tolerant of homosexuality than their countries’ relatively high levels of religiosity would suggest.”  ReligionNewsBlog  Global Attitudes Project
