520 |a The purposes of this paper were to determine: (a) attitudinal valence of six social attitudes considered negative by many interpretations of the Bible, (b) which social attitudes participants considered religion as a primary motivator for their attitudinal valence, (c) which religious variables predicted the attitudinal valence and religious motivation, and (d) qualitative responses delineating their rationale for choosing or not choosing religion as their primary motivator. Using a mixed-methods design, participants included religion as a rationale for their attitudinal valence regarding some social topics but not others (e.g., homosexuality vs. lying). Thus, some individuals mix religious and secular attitudes depending on the topic under discussion. Religious fundamentalism accounted for the majority of the variance, though not for each social attitude. Results indicated that some social issues are motivated by religious attitudes whereas others are based within the secular realm. Reasons for participants’ decision-making justifications based on religious and nonreligious motivations are given.
