Thanks for this. I’d love to be added!

We conclude that, by generating stronger support for Christian nationalism across broader swaths of the American public, Christian persecution beliefs pose a significant threat to the US. (4/4)

We also find that Christian persecution beliefs elevate religious liberties considerations over LGBT and even racial civil rights considerations in similar ways for all racial groups. (3/4)

Using 2022 data with oversamples of religious minorities, we find that Christian persecution beliefs are held at similar rates among White, Black, and Latino Christians, and that similar factors predict Christian persecution beliefs across racial groups. (2/4)

Using 2022 data with oversamples of racial minorities, we show that Whites, Latinos, and Blacks ascribe to Christian persecution beliefs to similar extents, and that the same factors predict Christian persecution beliefs across race. (2/3)
