Pastors and Public Life: The Changing Face of American Protestant Clergy, by Corwin E. SMIDT
Few observers of American Protestantism have displayed the insight and breadth of Corwin E. Smidt. Smidt’s most recent work, Pastors and Public Life, is the latest addition to an impressive corpus of scholarly work about the public face of American Protestantism, with a particular and ongoing emphasis on the political roles played by Protestant clergy. The scope and direction of this impressive volume are deceptively simple. Using surveys conduct…
Religion and Self-Governance: Catholicism, Islam, and the Issue of Censorship
Two aspects of democratic self-governance are analyzed: Collective self-governance, or the authority of citizens over one another, and individual self-governance, referring to the ability of each citizen to govern her/his own beliefs and actions. Individual self-governance is thought to require some level of autonomy on the part of individual citizens, and authenticity of personal preferences and desires. Beliefs about autonomy and authenticity i…
Freedom of Religion and Freedom of Speech: The Effects of Alternative Rights Frames on Mass Support for Public Exemptions
The first decades of the twenty-first century have witnessed an increase in the use of religious liberty as a warrant justifying conservative positions on social issues. The general outline of the recent history of the Free Exercise Clause is quite familiar to analysts of religious politics in the United States. Following the Supreme Court’s decision in Employment Division v. Smith,1 in which the Court took a restrictive position on the extent an…
Political Tolerance and Religion: An Age-Period-Cohort Analysis, 1984-2014
Using data from the 1984-2014 General Social Survey, we employ cross classified random effects models to examine age-period-cohort changes in political tolerance by religion, incorporating religious belief, belonging, and behavior into the analyses. The results show large cohort and period based changes in political tolerance of the various religious traditions. The results also suggest that the primary driver of changes over time in political to…
Public Attitudes Toward Abortion and LGBTQ Issues: A Dynamic Analysis of Region and Partisanship
Trends in public attitudes toward abortion, general acceptance of same-sex relationships, and same-sex marriage are examined across regions and parties in the United States. Relative to Americans living outside the South, Southerners are less accepting of same-sex relationships, and these regional differences appear to be increasing over time. On these issues, multivariate analysis suggests that Democrats and Republicans are moving in opposite di…

Public Attitudes Toward Church and State
Rights, Reflection, and Reciprocity: Implications of the Same-Sex Marriage Debate for Tolerance and the Political Process
Contentious battles over state-level Religious Freedom Restoration Acts suggest a fundamental refashioning of the “culture war” clashes in American politics. Conservatives — particularly religious conservatives — have come to champion a politics of rights, using “liberal weapons” (rights) to win battles or at least stave off loses. This raises important questions about the long-run effects of making rights claims. Does rights claiming lead to bal…

Abortion opinion in emerging democracies: Latin America and Central Europe
We compare the attitudes of mass publics toward abortion in three Latin American countries (Mexico, Uruguay, and El Salvador) and two countries in Central Europe (the Czech Republic and Poland). We find that, at the level of the mass public, attitudes toward abortion are significantly related to attitudes toward gender roles in Mexico, Uruguay, and the Czech Republic, but not in El Salvador and Poland. Conversely, attitudes toward euthanasia and …
Rights Talk: The Opinion Dynamics of Rights Framing
Objective A classic statement about rights talks in American politics argues they are a divisive force, limiting discussion and creating zero‐sum questions. While we agree that rights talk has become ubiquitous, we disagree about its effects on the mass public. Rights frames are a way to provide publicly accessible reasons that should lead to perceptions of the source as less extreme, which enables discourse rather than cuts it off. We hypothesiz…
The Subjective Bases of Abortion Attitudes: A Cross National Comparison of Religious Traditions
The subjective correlates of abortion attitudes for six different religious traditions (Roman Catholicism, Protestantism, Eastern Orthodoxy, Buddhism, Hinduism, and Islam). For all six groups, attitudes toward sexual morality exhibit the strongest relationship with abortion attitudes, followed by the effects of attitudes toward human life. Gender role attitudes are much less powerful predictors of abortion attitudes. Further, the multivariate mod…
Religion, Partisanship, and Attitudes Toward Science Policy
We examine issues involving science which have been contested in recent public debate. These "contested science" issues include human evolution, stem-cell research, and climate change. We find that few respondents evince consistently skeptical attitudes toward science issues, and that religious variables are generally strong predictors of attitudes toward individual issues. Furthermore, and contrary to analyses of elite discourse, partisan identi…
Catholic Politics in the United States: Challenges in the Past, Present, and Future
Throughout the history of the US, the Catholic Church has occupied a variety of political roles. This essay identifies three distinctive periods of Catholic politics: An era in which US Catholicism represented a primarily “immigrant” church (approximately from the mid-19th century to World War II), a period of assimilation and acculturation (roughly 1945–1980), and a period of integration into the dominant partisan and ideological cleavages of Am…
Conscience and Context: Attitudes Toward Abortion in M exico
Objective We seek to explain variation in attitudes toward legal abortion in M exico, a nation in which the abortion issue has become quite salient. Methods Using data from the 2005 World Values Survey, we estimate an ordered logistic model to analyze the effects of different demographic and attitudinal variables on M exican abortion attitudes. Results In general, the attitudinal and demographic predictors of abortion attitudes in M exico are sim…

Islam and Roman Catholicism as Transnational Political Phenomena: Notes for a Comparative Research Agenda
In this paper, we offer some preliminary insights into a comparison of Islam and Roman Catholicism as transnational or “transcivilizational” political phenomena. We note that both traditions are monotheistic, offer universalist theologies, and have played important political roles both historically and in contemporary national and international politics. The comparison provides some additional insights into the role of ‘the sacred’ in politics at…

Religious Preferences and Social Science: A Second Look
Although finding considerable value in Joshua Mitchell's recent JOP article about political science commentary on religion, we take issue with his contentions about empirical work on religious influence in politics. We argue that Mitchell has propounded an individualized conceptualization of religion that overlooks the communal nature of religious interaction, a dimension central to translating religious perspectives into political action. Moreov…

The Political Consequences of Religious Group Attitudes
The effects of religious attitudes and membership, group identifications, affect toward outgroups, and issue attitudes on Christian Right figures and the Republican party are compared. Christian Right support is primarily driven by attitudes toward cultural and ascriptive minorities, and such support is fragmented by religious particularism. By contrast, group attitudes affect partisanship through the intervening effects of issue attitudes
The gender gap in comparative perspective: Gender differences in abstract ideology and concrete issues in Western Europe
Although the ‘gender gap’ in Western democratic publics has received an increasing amount of scholarly attention, one interesting anomaly has not been addressed. At the level of many specific issues, women appear to be more liberal than men. However, at the level of general ideological orientations, women are either more conservative, or there are no significant gender differences. We explore this disjuncture between levels of cognitive abstracti…
Political Christianity: A Contextual Analysis
In this paper, an attempt is made to assess the relative importance of individual attributes and congregational-level contextual variables in explaining support for New Christian Right figures and for the Republican party. Using data gathered from 14 rural midwestern churches, the analysis suggests the following: (1) contextual effects are important and often are stronger than the effects of individual-level variables; (2) the unique effects of c…
Issue Voting in Gubernatorial Elections: Abortion and Post-Webster Politics
Nearly all studies of gubernatorial voting focus on the role of state economic conditions and incumbency on vote choice. Yet gubernatorial campaigns frequently focus on social issues such as abortion, the death penalty, and gun control. Using data from 1989 and 1990 exit polls in 10 states, we find that abortion was a significant predictor of vote choice in all but one. Our logistic regression analysis suggests that abortion position had a greate…
Denominational Preference and the Dimensions of Political Tolerance
This study investigates the tolerance belief systems of members of different denominational categories. After controls for education are imposed, it is found that there exists a Christian consensus on the circumstances in which intolerance may be justified. The characteristics of the audience (adults versus preadults) affect tolerance belief systems to a much greater extent than does the political content of a particular message
Political Esperanto: Rhetorical Resources and Limitations of the Christian Right in the United States
This study analyzes a paradox in the rhetorical strategies of the Christian Right in the United States: How can doctrinally conservative political activists justify “legislating morality” in a culture in which individual autonomy is a central value? This essay is based on the assumption that, although there exist competing values and religious frameworks in the United States, the language of liberal individualism is the lingua franca for distinct…
Catholic Priests and the Political Order: The Political Behavior of Catholic Pastors
A nationwide mail survey of Catholic priests is analyzed with respect to their political behavior in the presidential election of 2000. Priests exhibit a slight tendency to self-identify as political liberals, and a strong tendency to identify with the Democratic Party. Nevertheless, Bill Clinton won a very narrow victory over Bob Dole among priests in 1996, and George W. Bush trounced Al Gore among Catholic clergy in 2000. My analysis suggests t…
State Political Cultures and Public Opinion About Abortion
We investigate the distinctiveness of state attitudes and their impact on attitudes toward legal abortion. We find modest differences in the level of support for legal abortion and for additional restrictions on abortion, but these differences are not significant after controls for the demographic characteristics, religion, and ideology of each state's citizens. Our results suggest that the abortion debate is a national debate, and that state dif…
Religious Belief and Attitude Constraint
In recent years, both the Moral Majority and the American Catholic Bishops have taken positions on diverse public issues, presenting these issues as coherent packages with single, underlying rationales. This study investigated the extent to which members of the mass public regard these issues as parts of more general gestalts. This was accomplished by examining the levels of constraint exhibited by members of different denominational groups. No r…
Respect for Life, Sexual Morality, and Opposition to Abortion
The relative importance of respect for human life and sexual conservatism in explaining opposition to abortion is examined. Catholics, people with at least a high school education, and frequent church attenders are most likely to oppose abortion on "right to life" grounds. Fundamentalists, people who did not finish high school, and infrequent church attenders are most likely to oppose abortion because easily available abortions seem to render sex…

The Effects of Employment and Religion on Women's Feminist Attitudes
The effects of employment outside the home on various gender role attitudes for White female Catholics, mainline Protestants, and Evangelical Protestants were examined. The zero-order relationships between employment and various indices of feminism were quite similar for women in all three religious groups. Multivariate analysis revealed that religious variables are not significantly related to feminism among Catholic women and that employment st…
Continuity and Change in Attitudes Toward Abortion: Poland and the United States
In this study, we seek to describe and explain changes in mass abortion attitudes in Poland and the United States. Both countries exhibit modest, but significant, declines in support for legal abortion during the 1990s and early years of the twenty-first century. When compositional, structural, and period effects are estimated separately, both countries exhibit strong pro-life period effects beginning in the late 1990s. In Poland, compositional e…
Catholicism and Abortion Attitudes in the American States: A Contextual Analysis
Using data from state exit polls in 1990, we attempted to determine the manner in which Roman Catholicism affects abortion attitudes. We compared individual-level effects, in which the Church socializes individual members, with contextual effects, in which the Church affects abortion attitudes by altering the terms of the debate outside the Church's membership. Both effects were found to be statistically significant, although the contextual effec…

The effects of gender role stereotypes on political attitudes
Public attitudes toward women may be understood in terms of two dimensions: inferiority and indifference. Some people (both men and women) believe that women are inferior to men, whereas others believe that the sexes are merely different. Factor analysis of the NORC General Social Survey shows that the inferiority stereotype explains political attitudes better than the difference stereotype
Religious Dogmatism among White Christians: Causes and Effects
Using data from the 1988 General Social Survey, an index of religious dogmatism is developed. Dogmatism is predicted by doctrinal orthodoxy and public religious activity, and is in turn a significant predictor of attitudes toward a number of issues involving personal freedom. However, doctrinal orthodoxy and membership in evangelical denominations retain their importance in predicting these attitudes, even when dogmatism is controlled
Changes in the Attitudinal Correlations of Opposition to Abortion, 1977-1985
The relative importance of respect for human life and sexual conservatism as rationales for opposition to abortion is examined for three religious groups for the years 1977, 1982, and 1985. In general, Catholics, non-fundamentalist Protestants, and fundamentalist Protestants tend to oppose abortion because of respect for human life for the entire period. However, there exist in 1977 substantial differences in rationales for opposing elective abor…
Biblical Literalism and Inerrancy: A Methodological Investigation
The results of a methodological experiment are reported, in which black, urban respondents are presented with a new question dealing with beliefs about the Bible. The new item contains alternatives connoting both biblical literalism and inerrancy. Contrary to some previous research, it was found that the difference between literalism and inerrancy is meaningful to most doctrinally conservative respondents
Biblical Literalism and Inerrancy: Does the Difference Make a Difference
Two different versions of a “biblical authority“ question are compared with respect to their effects on a number of theoretically relevant variables. One version of the question seems to connote a sense of biblical literalism, while the other implies an inerrant, but not necessarily literalist view of the Bible's authority. No large differences between the two versions of the question were found

Fundamentalism, Feminism, and Attitudes toward Pornography
The attitudes of fundamentalists and feminists toward pornography are investigated. While members of both groups share an antipathy toward pornography, and tend to support the legal suppression of sexually explicit materials, doctrinally conservative Christians and feminists do not seem to agree on a common rationale. A recursive path model shows that feminists oppose pornography for its alleged exploitive effects on women, while fundamentalists …

The Effects of Religious Separatism on White Protestants in the 1984 Presidential Election
A distinction is made between fundamentalists and evangelicals, based upon attitudes of religious separatism. While the two groups do not differ in terms of partisanship or voting behavior, there appear to exist important differences in the issue attitudes of the two groups. While both groups seem likely to embrace personally conservative positions on the moral issues, the data analyzed here suggest that fundamentalists are significantly more lik…

This timely and fascinating historical study of Protestant women will increase the appreciation of their continuing struggle for acceptance within their churches and of their contribution to the success of the Protestant movement.

In essays contributed by recognize…

Evangelicals and Political Tolerance
The article explores four possible explanations for the lower levels of political tolerance of evangelical Christians. First, these differences could be spurious, due to demographic differences. Second, evangelicals may be less tolerant of atheists, homosexuals, and communists, but more tolerant of groups on the other side of the political spectrum, suggesting a group effect. Third, evangelical intolerance may be the result of higher levels of re…
