| Zusammenfassung: | This work examines the political consequences of Latino religious identities. Survey data are used to analyze the effects of being a born-again Christian on Latino support for the Republican Party and policies traditionally identified with the Republican Party. Logit results reveal that born-again Christians display more conservative attitudes than Catholics. However, religious commitment, in the form of church attendance rather than religious identity, is a more robust predictor of Latino conservatism. The evidence presented here suggests a potential growth in Latino political and social conservatism should religiosity and conversion to evangelical Christianity increase. |
