520 |a Data collected as part of the Middletown project in Muncie, Indiana, are used to test both structural and magnitude differences between black and white dimensions of religiosity. The analysis of Linear Structural Relationships (LISREL) handles a number of potential problems more adequately than the traditional factor analytic approach. Four dimensions are examined: personal religious behavior, belief orthodoxy, ritual involvement, and consequentiality. Though the latent dimensions appear for both blacks and whites, the dimensions are not orthogonal. Furthermore, the dimensions are not interrelated the same way for whites as they are for blacks, and specific items do not relate to the latent dimensions the same way for the two groups. Though a great deal of similarity exists for black and white religiosity, the results suggest, paraphrasing Stark (1972), that “differences of kind in piety” exist between blacks and whites. These differences have important implications for the future study of religion.
