I haven’t seen that poll and I’d want the source before defending or attacking the number. Forced choice polls usually don’t survive the retelling intact. The real research, Gervais at UBC, does show high distrust of atheists among American Christians. That part is documented. The underlying point is fair though. A lot of Christians treat atheism as a moral category instead of a metaphysical one. They assume no God means no restraint, which means no trust. That’s lazy and it’s not what Scripture teaches. Romans 2 says the law is written on every human heart. Atheists love their kids, keep their word, show up for their neighbors. The Christians in that poll were failing their own theology. I’d trust an atheist friend with my kids over a stranger from my church I didn’t know. Character is observable. Worldview without character is a label. If the poll is real, it’s an indictment of those Christians, not a defense of them.
