| Summary: | Secondary analysis of responses to 40 questions from seven U.S. national surveys conducted between 1953 and 1961 found larger Christian-Jewish than Protestant-Catholic differences not only on religious questions but also on many other attitudes and behaviors. Catholics had the highest rates of religious participation, were least opposed to out-marriage, and scored highest on “authoritarianism.” Jews were the most secular, politically most liberal, ethnically most tolerant, and reported the smallest percentage “very happy.” Protestants were least tolerant and politically most conservative. Controls for region and community size were used to determine the extent to which the differences could be attributed to religion as such. |
