This is highly misleading article, the original study says NOTHING about effects of secular upbringing. If you don't believe me here is ungated link to the study.
It is a study of relationship between racism and religiosity.
If you wanted to study how secular and religious parents influence their children's racial attitudes you would need to have data on the racial attitudes of the parents. And if you wanted to know whether that influence was genetic or upbringing you would need to have data on genes.
Genetics has nothing to do with it. The only way genetics would come into play is if there were a brain abnormality or history or schizophrenia, which would automatically eliminate the family as viable participates for 'average' families. (Unless they link religion to schizophrenia... Or abnormal brains... Structurally.)
It would have everything to do with religion. And even a generalized study is a launching point for further, more in depth studies. Especially since religious people are screaming about supposed persecution....
