Digitiral Journal Reports: The Christian Baylor University of Texas has completed a study that shows if a person votes or completes a survey near or in a church location, they will usually be more politically conservative.
A recent press releasehas reported that these same voters are also more negative toward non-Christians, as compared to people who vote or answer polls near government or non-Christian buildings. The new study involves individuals who were passing by churches in the Netherlands and England, not in the United States.
The Baylor study is just a small bit of growing evidence “that ‘religious priming’ can influence both religious and nonreligious people.” Published online in the International Journal for the Psychology of Religion, the study reflects the differences in not only the voting polls, but also the Christians vs non-Christian people.
