While current research in this area is expansive, these investigations neglect the importance of minority religious groups, particularly American Muslims--the fastest growing religion in America today. This study evaluates the efficacy of religious characteristics as motivators of respondents' voting choices, using a nationwide survey of American Muslim adults. Unlike dominant religious groups, measures of religiosity for American Muslim adults consistently had negative effects on support for the conservative candidate George W. Bush. In addition, measures of religiosity also influenced American Muslim voters' decision to move away from Bush between the 2000 and 2004 election cycles. These changes may be a result of the 9/11 terrorist attacks and recent hostility towards American Muslims. Further study with specific measures and evaluations of recent events may be necessary to address precise associations of religiosity with the voting preferences of American Muslims.
