Neither intrinsic nor social religion predicts measured implicit racial bias

Evidence

Religious orientations were not correlated with the race-IAT effect (rintrinsic = .06; rextrinsic–social = .07; rextrinsic–personal = .06; rquest = –.15). When simultaneously regressed on the race-IAT effect, intrinsic ( .07), extrinsic–social ( .07), extrinsic–personal ( .09), and quest ( = –.16) did not account for unique variation when we controlled for the other orientations and impression management ( = .03, R = .20). — Wade C. Rowatt and Lewis M. Franklin, Christian Orthodoxy, Religious…, 73
