520 |a The relationships of religiosity to social class and to several political variables are examined within a sample of blacks in Muncie, Indiana. In essence, the first relationship is an examination of secularization trends in a black sample. The second relationship attempts to examine the opiate of religion hypothesis. Four multi-item scales of religiosity and three of political attitudes are developed. A weak secularization effect is found, but only for the belief dimension. Two other measures of religiosity actually show a reverse secularization effect. These results are interpreted in terms of the church being the dominant institution in the black community. A weak opiate effect is found on two of three political dimensions. Opiate effects may operate only when specific types of churches are combined with low educational levels of the participants, however.
