| Summary: | Examining religion in the study of political behavior has produced varied results because of a lack of clarity on the conceptualization of religion and a methodology that cannot adequately untangle the multiple meanings of religion.

The results of this analysis indicate that a belief in biblical literalism decreases political tolerance, while church attendance often increases tolerance. |
