Introduction to the Special Issue “Religion and Politics
In the 1966 animated television special “It’s The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown”, character Linus Van Pelt infamously claimed that there are three things he learned never to discuss with people: “religion, politics, and the Great Pumpkin” (Mendelson et al [...]
Conversion of the Court
Over time, the United States Supreme Court has vacillated between an accommodationist and separationist approach to religious liberty cases. Under the Burger Court, liberal justices largely supported religious exemptions and strict scrutiny analysis of government actions limiting religious exercise. The ideological division was further heightened by the 1990 Employment Division v. Smith case, in which the conservative wing of the Court rejected a…
Classroom Culture Wars
The intersection of religion and education in the United States dates to colonial times, as do attempts by religious institutions and individuals to regulate educational content. After a prominent retreat by religious fundamentalists following the Scopes Monkey Trial, conservative Christians have once again entered political debates about educational content in the form of modern culture wars issues. Both conservatives and liberals have attempted…
Religious Conversion and Political Incorporation
Political socialization in the United States is circuitous and influenced by numerous outside sources, including parents, teachers, and peers. Moreover, civic organizations and political parties often work directly to recruit and mobilize citizens into politics. However, many foreign-born immigrants are denied these opportunities to acquire socialization. Immigrants are also often further overlooked or ignored by the civic and political organizat…
The politics of church shopping
Recent political science literature notes that the relationship between religion and politics is not a one-way interaction: religion influences political beliefs and political beliefs influence religious practices. Most of these studies, however, have relied on aggregate or indirect methods of assessing individual-level religious decisions of where to attend worship services. This paper utilizes an original, nationally representative survey condu…
Religious Engagement, Civic Skills, and Political Participation in Latin America
To what extent has the growth of Evangelicalism in Latin America contributed to political participation across the region? A number of scholars of religion and politics in the United States have suggested that Evangelicalism promotes the development of civic skills necessary for political engagement, while the Catholic Church, due to its hierarchical structure, provides fewer opportunities for skill acquisition. In this paper, we apply this debat…
Believe Me
Whether promising that Americans would say “Merry Christmas” again, that he would protect America’s “Christian heritage,” or that he alone could fix the country’s problems, Donald Trump relied on a consistent refrain: “believe me.” But why should white evangelicals believe in Donald Trump, a religiously awkward man who has skirted most of the moral norms for politicians that they once viewed as non-negotiable? John Fea makes the case that Trump m…
Reconciling the god and gender gaps
Social scientists have long recognized women as being both more religious and more liberal than men. Indeed, men have been disaffiliating from churches and the Democratic Party at higher rates than women for several decades. Moreover, we show evidence to suggest that churchgoing women, while less liberal than women in the general population, are nevertheless more liberal than churchgoing men. Given these trends, one might expect churches to have …
Adapting Identities
Asian Americans constitute the largest group of new immigrants and the fastest growing ethnic group in the United States. While Asian American immigrants have experienced greater economic success than other minority groups, this has not necessarily led to greater political incorporation such as identification with a political party. Political parties have made little substantive outreach to Asian Americans, leaving a void in political socializati…
Filling Pews and Voting Booths
Declines in religious affiliation and church attendance in the United States have been well-documented, which political scientists often attribute to the prominence of the Religious Right in American politics. These scholars posit that the politicization of religion deters religious participation, especially among those on the political and theological left. However, the existing research looks only at aggregate trends in the involvement of relig…
Faith in the Court
The question of whether judges' personal characteristics and values bias their decision making has long been debated, yet far less attention has been given to how personal characteristics affect public perceptions of bias in their decision making. Even genuinely objective judges may be perceived as procedurally biased by the public. We hypothesize that membership in a religious out-group will elicit stronger public perceptions of biased decision …
