Several dimensions of religious commitments have been proposed and studied in the sociology of religion. These are taken as empirical generalizations which may be applicable to politics. Results of data from a metropolitan sample are factored, obliquely rotated, and interpreted. As hypothesized, corresponding sets of dimensions result for religious and political variables. Rather than thefive dimensions originally sought, six are considered to be more in line with the empirical results. Although the first order dimensions show religious and political parallels, distinct second order arrangements were found. Relationships among commitment dimensions both within and between the religious and political spheres are also examined
