Christian statism but not religious traditionalism drives religious intolerance.
Evidence
For instance, CS, but not RT, significantly and consistently predicts anti- Muslim attitudes from 2007 to 2021. Similarly, CS predicts negative sentiments toward Jews and Buddhists but RT does not. In short, we find that higher CS scores indicates stronger religious intolerance yet higher RT scores suggest an acceptance and even embrace of religious pluralism. — Ruiqian Li and Paul Froese, The Duality of American Christian…, 163
