Catholics and Immigration: Church Leadership Perspectives and the Views of a Diverse Laity
This article examines the viewpoints and policy perspectives of leaders of the Catholic Church in the United States concerning immigration. We find that over time they tend to hold moderate to liberal views and recommend policies that tend to mimic those of the Democratic Party rather than those of the Republican Party. We contrast these views with those of Catholic laity and find that there is a disconnect. In particular, White Catholics tend to…
Religious Voting in the 2020 Presidential Election: Testing Alternative Theories
Scholars of American electoral politics have documented the recent partisan realignment of religious groups. Indeed, careful analysts often find that religious variables are better predictors of partisan choice than classic socioeconomic divisions. Still, there has been relatively little effort to put this religious realignment in both theoretical and historical perspective. In this article, we update our previous work on the historical evolution…
Evangelicals and Immigration: Fault Lines Among the Faithful
Populism, Evangelicalism, and the Polarized Politics of Immigration
Past research has established that evangelical Protestant elites have increased their involvement in immigration reform efforts pursuing Biblical values of “welcoming the stranger.” This article confirms and updates these previous research efforts. Prior work has also established that, at the mass level, white evangelical Protestants hold the most conservative immigration perspectives of any religious group in the United States. This article exam…

The Political Effects of the Born-Again Phenomenon
In recent years, the popular culture has devoted a good deal of attention to the \npolitical aspects of religious experience. Partly as a result of Jimmy Carter&s;s explicit \nclaim to be a born-again Christian, the political implications of religious experience \nreceived a great deal of attention. Indeed, journalistic accounts of Carter&s;s "walk in \nthe woods" with his sister, Ruth Carter Stapleton, which led to Carter&s;s conversion experien…
Rediscovering the Religious Factor in American Politics
Catholic Partisanship and the Presidential Vote in 2012: Testing Alternative Theories
Catholics have long been an important force in American electoral politics. Once a vital and loyal component of the New Deal Democratic coalition, Catholics in recent decades have shifted their political loyalties away from the Democratic Party to more of a partisan equilibrium. Indeed, by 2012, the White Catholic vote had become predominantly Republican, even in a year in which a Democrat was re-elected to the White House, and on balance party i…

The Oxford Handbook of Religion and American Politics
The Oxford Handbook of Religion and American Politics is unique to the field of religion and American politics. Religion is, and has always been, a powerful force in American politics. Over the past three decades, the study of religion and politics has gone from being ignored by the scholarly community to being a major focus of research. This research has been dominated by studies of the mass public, but has included some examination of political…
Religious Influences in the 2004 Presidential Election
In this article, we examine the impact of religious variables on the vote in the 2004 presidential election. First, we review and evaluate two theories that underlie many interpretations of religion’s role in American electoral politics, namely, the ethnoreligious and the religious restructuring perspectives. Using both approaches, we deploy a comprehensive classification incorporating religious affiliations, beliefs, and practices that is quite …
Faith and Foreign Policy: A View From the Pews
Until recently the impact of faith on foreign policy has gone largely unnoticed by the mainstream public and media. Observers are divided as to whether it is primarily religious traditionalists or progressives that are shaping US foreign policy. Theauthors' survey of religious groups' attitudes towards US foreign policy and the Bush Doctrine reveal a complicated picture. Scholars, pundits, and journalists are now coming recognize the impact of fa…
The Politics of the Willow Creek Association Pastors
The Willow Creek Association (WCA), a loose association of some 8,000 churches with a common interest in evangelizing using the 'seeker' model pioneered by the Willow Creek Community Church, is a good example of a postmodern religious association. A survey of clergy whose churches belong to WCA reveals the membership of the WCA to be diverse, with a large membership from mainline and evangelical denominations. However, the clergy are orthodox in …

The Bully Pulpit: The Politics of the Protestant Clergy
When Democrats lost control of Congress in 1994, the Christian Right claimed a major role in their defeat and House Speaker Newt Gingrich credited the organized Christian vote with the Republican victory. Ministers from many political persuasions have long been active in American politics, but in the 1980s and 1990s it has seemed impossible to find any political controversy that did not involve the clergy-often on both sides of the issue. Bully i…

Faith and the Environment: Religious Beliefs and Attitudes on Environmental Policy
Theory: Conservative Christian theology contains a set of beliefs that run counter to the philosophy supporting environmentalism. Hypotheses: Conservative eschatology (Biblical literalism, End Times thinking), religious tradition, and religious commitment should be negatively related to support for environmental policy. Data: Using data from four national surveys of clergy, religious activists, political-party contributors, and the mass public, w…

Measuring Fundamentalism: An Analysis of Different Operational Strategies
While a variety of operational measures have been employed to identify fundamentalist respondents, little attention has been paid to assessing the effects of particular operational measures. Using data from a national survey containing several conventional measures of fundamentalism, this study analyzes (1) the extent to which these operational measures of fundamentalism are interrelated and tap the same facet of the concept, and (2) how these me…
Card Sorting as a Technique for Survey Interviewing
This article reports on two years' experience with card sorting, a novel method of gathering survey data in large-scale research. Reliability, validity and response bias are assessed, and reactions of respondents and interviewers are reported. The authors conclude that card sorting is a fast and interesting method of obtaining valid and reliable interview data, and one which appears to be capable as well of counteracting at least some of the bias…
