Social dominators who attend church tend to be extrinsically rather than intrinsically religious

Evidence

What about religion? A few social dominators appear quite religious, but usually they seem pretty indifferent. It would not astound me if high SDOs who attend church tend to fall among the “extrinsically oriented” people whom Gordon Allport (1966) thought he spotted in the pews, whose religion was “strictly utilitarian; useful to the self in granting safety, social standing, solace and endorsement for one’s chosen way of life (p. 455).” — John T. Jost and Jim Sidanius, Political Psychology, 1052
