A claim circulating online says empathy levels divide Americans along religious lines, with white evangelicals scoring as the least empathetic group. Commentators responding to the claim are largely critical, arguing the finding fits a pattern of divisiveness and that the group's posture contradicts Christian teachings of compassion. Others may push back on how empathy was measured or defined, but the headline itself is driving a debate over religion and public morality in the United States.
Why now: The claim that the most publicly religious group scores lowest on empathy is provocative and feeds ongoing debates about religion and politics in America.
