Must religious nationalism divide? Race, government‐supported religion, and views of political solidarity and compromise
Background Americans who believe government policies should bolster religion's influence tend to favor rigid in‐group/out‐group distinctions and hierarchies. Yet given that religious and political views are fundamentally racialized, we theorize racial identity moderates the link between favoring government‐supported religion and views toward political solidarity and compromise. Objective This study extends our understanding of how beliefs about r…

The Everyday Crusade: Christian Nationalism in American Politics
What is causing the American public to move more openly into alt-right terrain? What explains the uptick in anti-immigrant hysteria, isolationism, and an increasing willingness to support alternatives to democratic governance? The Everyday Crusade provides an answer. The book points to American Religious Exceptionalism (ARE), a widely held religious nationalist ideology steeped in myth about the nation's original purpose. The book opens with a co…
Educational Intervention for Management of Acute Trauma Pain: A Proof-of-Concept Study in Post-surgical Trauma Patients
These findings suggest that trauma patients' expectations and understanding of the risks associated with the long-term use of opioids can be modified by a short educational intervention delivered by health providers during the hospitalization. Establishing realistic expectations in managing acute traumatic pain may empower patients with the necessary knowledge to minimize the potential of continuous long-term opioid use, opioid misuse, and the de…
The Other Black Church: Alternative Christian Movements and the Struggle for Black Freedom, by Joseph L. Tucker EDMONDS
Joseph L. Tucker Edmonds’s The Other Black Church: Alternative Christian Movements and the Struggle for Black Freedom highlights often overlooked aspects of the role of religion in advancing Black political, economic, and social rights. Using the examples of the African American Pentecostal Movement, Father Divine Movement, and the Shrine of the Black Madonna, the book demonstrates how these early twentieth-century movements inform many of the cu…

The Prophetic and the Prosperous: Religious Ideologies and the Maintenance of Group Consciousness
Integral to the development of group consciousness is the establishment of independent entities, which allow individuals to develop a common identity and solidarity. In the case of African Americans, the black church has facilitated racial group consciousness by bringing blacks together and advocating a belief system that emphasizes justice and community, commonly referred to as the social gospel. In contrast to the social gospel, the prosperity …
The Faith of Black Politics: The Relationship Between Black Religious and Political Beliefs
Scholars argue that the Black church produces religious messages that foster racial cohesion; however, recent examinations of Black religion note the heterogeneity of the messages and beliefs advanced by Black churches. Several argue that this heterogeneity in Black religious beliefs is reflected in Black political beliefs. This study examines the linkage between heterogeneity in Black religious beliefs and heterogeneity in Black political attitu…
The Gospel of Reform: The Social Gospel and Health Care Reform Attitudes
Most research on the social gospel, a religious interpretation that obliges people to care for the less fortunate and correct social inequalities, has focused on elite rhetoric. However, it is not clear the extent to which members of the public also adhere to this socioreligious philosophy. The moralistic tone of the 2010 health care reform debate has led many to argue that there is a revival of the social gospel. To what extent has this debate g…
Proud to be an American: The Changing Relationship of National Pride and Identity
The attacks on the United States on September 11, 2001 and subsequent military operations in Afghanistan and Iraq created a sharp increase in expressions of national pride and the invocation of “nation” in political discourse. Using the 1996 and 2004 General Social Surveys, we document these changing patterns of national pride, and ask how they affect conceptions of national identity. We report three main findings. First, the data corroborate the…
What Kind of Christian Are You? Religious Ideologies and Political Attitudes
Through measures of orthodoxy, images of God, and instrumental beliefs, scholars of the social scientific study of religion have been able to demonstrate how abstract and specific religious beliefs influence political and social attitudes. Building upon this work, this article uses a unique data set to measure social and prosperity gospel support. Further, it examines the roots and political behavioral consequences of support to these religious i…

This entry outlines bounded rationality and shows its relevance for the study of race and ethnic politics.
The Black Church and Defining the Political
Examining the Black church demonstrates that the way people understand politics is dynamic; as a group's status changes, its understanding of politics changes. If we understand politics as the atte
Divine Boundaries: How Religion Shapes Citizens’ Attitudes Toward Immigrants
How does religion affect one’s attitudes toward immigrants? Scholars have shown that members of minor religious groups are less anti-immigrant than members of majority affiliations and that Evangelical Protestants are particularly hostile. Other scholars have demonstrated that increased religiosity reduces immigrant animus. Here, we argue that religion affects immigration attitudes via a distinct religiously informed interpretation of America’s n…
Politics in the Pews: The Political Mobilization of Black Churches
"Politics in the Pews probes the internal dynamics of political decision making within the Black church." ---William E. Nelson, Jr., Research Professor, Department of African American and African Studies, Ohio State University As Eric McDaniel demonstrates in his study of Black congregations in the U.S., a church's activism results from complex negotiations between the pastor and the congregation. The church's traditions, its institutional organi…
God's Party? Race, Religion, and Partisanship over Time
The Republican Party has aggressively attempted to recruit black and Latino Evangelicals; however, the success of these efforts has been questioned. The authors argue that the GOP's diminished success in recruiting these groups, compared to Anglos, is based on differing religious worldviews. Using data that allow them to track partisanship over two decades, the authors examine how religious conservatism has shaped Anglo, Latino, and black partisa…
Belonging and Doing: Political Churches and Black Political Participation
The importance of the political church in Black political participation has brought to the attention of scholars the differences among Black churches and their effect on Black mobilization. The Black church has on many occasions transformed itself into a politicized organization. These political churches become settings that encourage political knowledge and skills (Tate, 1993) and communicate political activity as a norm (Calhoun‐Brown, 1996). T…

Black Clergy in the 2000 Elections
Using survey data collected on African Methodist Episcopal and Church of God in Christ clergy, this article finds that black clergy are strongly supportive of their roles as community leaders. However, there are differences along denominational lines in terms of how they interpret their role, in their policy preferences, and in their activities both in and out of the pulpit. In total, this study reveals that there is diversity in black clergy att…
