Abstract
Despite global trends toward being religiously unaffiliated, many Americans ascribe to traditional religious beliefs, which often promote rigid gender roles. This study’s findings suggest that greater commitment and adherence to traditional religious dogma is tied to negative attitudes toward feminism, maladaptive communication patterns, and less relationship and sexual satisfaction overall.
