Drawing on three survey samples—Christian clergy (2014), a national U.S. sample (2016), and Protestants (2019)—the study develops a new measure of religious authority. Results show religious authority values form a distinct construct with independent effects on authoritarian child-rearing values, deliberative values, and democratic norms.","","cbCaily1NQjndxMb","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaily1NQjndxMb","pdf",509395,1,28,"English","en",105,"# Abstract and Research Focus\n## Religious authority versus democratic authority\n## Limits of existing religiosity-based measures\n# Data and Measurement Strategy\n## Three survey samples\n## Five-question battery for religious authority values\n# Empirical Results and Implications\n## Distribution and independent effects\n## Links to deliberative values and authoritarianism\n# Literature Review and Theory Development\n## Rebuilding theory around authority and democracy","[{\"question\":\"What problem does the paper address about religion and democracy?\",\"answer\":\"It examines the extent to which religious authority can trump democratic authority and argues that authority is often mismeasured using broader religiosity or belief proxies.\"},{\"question\":\"How is the new measure of religious authority constructed?\",\"answer\":\"The study creates and tests a battery of five questions designed to capture religious authority values, distinguishing them from religiosity and religious conservatism.\"},{\"question\":\"What data sources are used in the analysis?\",\"answer\":\"The results draw on three survey samples: Christian clergy in 2014, a national sample of 1,000 Americans in Spring 2016, and a national sample of 1,010 Protestants in 2019.\"}]",1782509112,71,null]
