Religiosity predicts sacred values independent of demographics and politics.

Evidence

Religiosity remained a positive predictor of the sacred values score, β = .11, t(317) = 2.02, p = .044, after controlling for the potentially confounding variables of gender, age, political affiliation, and education in a regression analysis (see Appendix A for the regression table). — Hammad Sheikh and Jeremy Ginges and Alin Coman and Scott Atran, Religion, group threat and sacred values, 26

Categorization

• XREF: Relates to the reader’s divergence question — do professed convictions (religiosity self-report) track actual sacredness scores? Here self-report does predict the measured outcome, but weakly (β = .11). — connects to: Participation in religious ritual, not broader psychological traits, predicts sacred values. — Hammad Sheikh and Jeremy Ginges and Alin Coman and Scott Atran, Religion, group threat and sacred values, 26; Elites can sway people by reframing sacred values as secular tradeoffs. — Scott Atran and Jeremy Ginges, Sacred Values and Cultural Conflict, 20; Religion can override political rights and material gains when believers hold it inviolable (+1 more)
