| Summary: | With 1,006 randomly selected UCLA student respondents, the relationship between religiosity and anti-Vietnam war attitudes was examined. Religiosity was measured by regularity of church attendance and the importance which respondents gave to their religion apart from attendance of religious services. For Roman Catholic, Protestant and Jewish respondents, degree of religiosity made no difference for opinions concerning the Vietnam war. Non-religious respondents were much less supportive of U. S. involvement in Vietnam than those claiming a religious affiliation. Therefore, a negative relationship between religion and anti-Vietnam war attitudes best characterizes this sample. This negative relationship is consistent with research results of the general population concerning religion and liberal or leftist politics. |
