An apparent decline in religion during COVID was a measurement artifact of moving to online surveys:

Online surveys are likely unrepresentative of the most religious

New article on what happened to religion, and the measurement of religion, during the pandemic: academic.oup.com/socrel/adva…
We (@_SeanBock @MikeHoutNY) show the apparent decline in the highest levels of religiosity in the 2021 GSS, which moved online, was due to non-response bias.

Really excited to see this one in print at @SORJournal! In this article I, @profsamperry, and @JoshuaGrubbsPhD, demonstrate that greater commitment to #ChristianNationalism helps shape American's perceptions of constitutional rights. 1/5

A new paper outlines how promoting conflict b/w science & religion is a group-binding behavior for science graduate students. The problem? This bad for science communication. Most Americans are religious & religion is linked with things scientists really care about. 1/9

This analysis of original survey data finds that among US graduate students the "religion-science conflict" serves as a way to express solidarity with a group that is central to their identity.

Interesting work by an ISSR Fellow here.
Using surveys of college students in their 1st & then 4th years, John Evans finds that it isn't science that secularizes. Rather, majors focused on inquiry--as opposed to knowledge application--are more likely to secularize.

This is a great podcast episode on W. E. B. Du Bois, the white church, and the sociology of religion
NEW Podcast
Listen as author @yrlsoc & assoc. editor @ndrewwhitehead discuss Damon's Advanced Access article, "The Funk of White Souls: Toward a Du Boisian Theory of the White Church."
Du Bois shows how white churches further perpetuate white supremacy.

New study from @AustinCGLee shows that race plays a significant role in how Black and white Protestants understand themselves as LGB-affirming church members and how anti-gay stigma manifests differently across religious groups.

Although the pluralism of city life can lead to secularization, it also supports religious subcultures: for example, urban walkability allows for more interaction among coreligionists.
Read Audra Dugandzic’s article on theorizing place characteristics in the study of religion!
ADVANCE ACCESS
How does place influence and get shaped by religion? One example is how urbanicity provides affordances which can allow for the creation of religious amenities that support religious practice.
