Religious Prejudice Differs across Secular/Functional and Traditional/Dysfunctional Cultures

Sunday, May 24, 2020 · Virtual

Oral · Social

Is religious prejudice universal or culture-dependent? We examine (a) whether inter-religious prejudice across religious cultures results from strong belief, morality, or identity, (b) how ecological forces--rule of law and mortality--shape anti-atheist bias across cultures, and (c) whether political or religious ideology predicts opposition to immigrants in the US.
