I'd say religion is the most significant factor, but not because we dislike people who follow other religions than us. It's more that the news in our media about the followers of these religions is generally negative (and has been for some time now).

Even Polish atheists would probably dislike Muslims/Jews more on average than atheists in other European countries, so it's not a case of hating all other religions, more that hardly anyone has anything positive to say about these religions (both in the media and in daily life).

And as you can see from the chart, there aren't many Muslims/Jews in Poland, so not enough people to disprove unfair stereotypes / fight or defend against racism.

Don't get me wrong but isn't it one of the best cases of "it's your problem"?

Graph is easily understandable, lack of your geographical knowledge doesn't make it any worse and is actually more easily read on the first glance than say balls filled with text or specific colours with a textual legend.

Both of these countries are devoutly religious.

I suspect they don't like atheists and other Christian denominations as well.

The real question is whether and by how much more they dislike Jews and Muslims than they dislike atheists and other Christian denominations.

I suspect this might also be the case for Greece.

Just a suspicion. I am happy to be corrected by anyone who has better information.

as rule of thumb, pie chart are good in mos situation when you have to display up to 3 categories. This because it becomes impossible to read properly very quickly. In addition, it's not good to use pie charts when the area of the sectors are quite similar. this because the average human eye has problems to notice differences when the area difference is small

that's a lot of assumptions based on nothing but opinions, unless you're saying that you've got a clear idea of what the people that were hired were doing in the company.

I get it, layoffs bad - and yet, more people (not less) do have jobs thanks for those hiring sprees.

I see it as a net positive, you do you.

Strong disagree! All movies have value, even (especially) the bad ones. I enjoy some of the dumbest shit too, so that helps, haha. I'm currently working my way through all 110 Disney Channel Originals... and while none of them are outright awful, they are definitely, rarely "good."

Also, I tend to grade on a curve.
