The author assessed religiosity using items asking about the importance
of religion for the respondent, and about how often the respondent prays
and attends religious services. Religious denominations were classified
using an eight-category system proposed by the Public Religion Research
Institute (PRRI) that combines religious denomination and race.
Categories were: white evangelical Protestant, Black Protestant, Hispanic
Protestant, white Catholic, Hispanic Catholic, other Christian, non-
RECENT
Christian, and the religiously unaffiliated.
The author hypothesized that white evangelicals will have a high Psychopathic tendencies are
associated with an elevated interest in
probability of considering themselves a minority due to their religious fire, study finds
beliefs and that this perception will condition their beliefs about God’s role
in Trump’s election. Web-based exercise intervention leads
to mental health improvements in 3
months, according to controlled trial
When asked about God’s role in Trump elections, white evangelicals who
considered themselves a minority were more likely to see Trump’s election
as a part of God’s plan (74%) compared to those who do not consider
themselves a minority (66%). Although very low, the percentage of white
evangelicals who consider themselves a minority and stated that God
chose Trump is still greater than the percentage of those who do not
consider themselves a minority who gave the same answer (9% vs 7%).
The results highlight the link between minority status perception and
political decisions. However, study did not take into account various
religious cues that presidential candidates might be using, which might
have been shaping white evangelical political stances and responses to
the survey.
This paper is titled “Does it Matter if the President Isn’t Pious? White
Evangelicals and Elite Religiosity in the Trump Era”.
