| Summary: | This paper reports a study of the differential impact of religion in the private and public realms and how consequential religiosity varies within the population of a modern society. Data came from a random sample of Muncie, Indiana, the Lynd's (1929) "Middletown." It was found that religious influence is greatest on family life, least on political life, and moderate on work life. The results of a LISREL analysis are presented showing the effects of age, education, a Christian Right orientation, fundamentalism, marital status, work status, and religious nonaffiliation on reported religious influence on family, work, and political aspects of life. All of these independent variables affected religious influence on one or more areas of life studied. In general, religion influenced more the private than the public realm, and fundamentalism had the greatest impact on consequential religiosity. |
