Authoritarian research samples barely represent most of the world’s religious believers

Evidence

As interesting and consistent as these results are, I should “get real” here. Altogether there are well over a billion Hindus, Muslims, and Jews in the world. Roughly 99.9999 % of them did not serve in this study. (In nearly every case, I must confess, we did not even try to reach them.) The risk of overgeneralization is great. — Bob Altemeyer, The Authoritarian Specter, 2188
