| Summary: | This article explored differences between religious intellectual humility (IH), which refers to openness to different religious views and perspectives, and spiritual humility (SH), which refers to humility before God or the Sacred. In Study 1, participants completed measures of religious IH, SH, and several religious variables. Overall, religious IH was a positive predictor of openness to religious differences and questioning of religious beliefs, whereas SH was a positive predictor of religious fundamentalism and viewing religion as an end in itself. In Study 2, a second sample of participants completed measures of religious IH, SH, and moral foundations (Graham et al., 2011). Religious IH was a positive predictor of the moral foundations that are more consistent with liberal political values, whereas SH was a positive predictor of the moral foundations that are consistent with more conservative political values (Graham et al., 2009). We conclude by discussing limitations and suggestions for future research exploring humility and religion. |
