520 |a The paper reviews the evidence for a Marxist analysis of religion. Hypotheses were tested concerning the effects of church type, religious subculture, and congregational class composition on pastor's support for liberal activism. Specifically, the study concerned clergy support for an ecumenical agency to engage in class-related community activities. Data came from a closed-ended questionnaire completed by clergy in "Middletown." The sample included clergy from Catholic churches (N = 3), black churches (N = 19), white mainline churches (N = 41), and white fundamentalist churches (N = 63). All three independent variables were found to be related to pastor's support for liberal activism. The paper concludes with a discussion of why working-class churches have not been more activist than they have been.
