Authoritarians adhere to traditional religious teachings across all religions sampled.

Evidence

The RWA Scale’s connection with adherence to “proper” social conventions has been firmly established in certain religious connotations. Highs have tended to adhere to more traditional religious teachings, with all their do’s and don’ts, in every religion that has been appreciably represented in nearly every sample I have studied. — Bob Altemeyer, The Authoritarian Specter, 428

Categorization

• QUESTION: Which religions were ‘appreciably represented’ in Altemeyer’s samples — mostly Judeo-Christian groups; worth checking whether this cross-cultural claim is overextended.
• XREF: Cross-cultural generalizability across religions connects to Whitehead & Perry’s Christian-nationalism claims by showing the mechanism is authoritarianism itself, not Christianity per se.
• corroborated: 2 independent passages support this claim — Bob Altemeyer, The Authoritarian Specter, 428
