The following study will examine how people's images of God relate to religious nationalism and whether religious nationalism predicts various socio-political attitudes. Re-analysis of the Baylor Religion Surveys (Waves I and II) found that (a) people hold distinct images of God (benevolent, wrathful, angry over sin, distant), and (b) these images of God differently predicted religious nationalism. The current study builds upon these previous findings by examining whether these images of God predict various socio-political attitudes through religious nationalism. Moreover, since most of the sociological and psychological research on religious nationalism has been conducted in the United States, we build upon previous research by examining whether these processes occur across different cultural contexts. |
