| Summary: | This paper speaks to the question: Do religiosity and concomitant moral views have any impact upon income allocation in contemporary American society, and, if so, how is that influence exercised? Analysis of national survey data produces an affirmative answer to the question. Net of other variables, tolerant attitudes toward "conflict crime" positively affect incomes, and conventional religiosity influences income through these attitudes. It is argued that these findings are consistent with the rise of managerial capitalism in America, the substantive nature of high income occupations, and the values of highly educated church attenders. |
