Merely orthodox religious belief does not predict prejudice

Evidence

We saw a difference between orthodoxy and fundamentalism. Orthodoxy refers to accepting the beliefs of a religion, as assessed by (say) the Christian Orthodoxy Scale (Exhibit 1.5): Do you believe Jesus was the son of God? Do you believe Jesus rose from the dead? Do you believe you have an immortal soul? We have found CO Scale scores to be uncorrelated with prejudice. — Bob Altemeyer, The Authoritarian Specter, 2081
