Summary: | In recent years, social science research on the impact of religious commitment has shown consistently that associations between public religious practice and racial prejudice are negative and that associations between religious orthodoxy and racial prejudice are positive. But the linkage between religiosity and religious prejudice remains problematic. At the center of this controversy lies Glock's and Stark's Christian Beliefs and Anti-Semitism. Herein, we examine the most salient criticisms of that monograph and reanalyze the Bay Area data on which it rests, indicating more accurately the strength of the basic relationship, the insignificance of anomia as an intervening variable, and the presence of previously unheeded correlated measurement errors whose removal vitiates the Glock-Stark thesis. |
