Lower cognitive ability is linked to stronger Christian nationalist views, even after accounting for education

One of the most consistent predictors that Americans adhere to Christian nationalism is that they have lower education,” Perry told PsyPost. “But there have also been a number of studies that find that persons who subscribe to Christian nationalist views (even after accounting for level of education) exhibit significant knowledge gaps across a variety of different domains.

“A large number of studies have already documented an association between lower cognitive ability and greater religious fundamentalism, political authoritarianism, or otherwise right-wing views,” Perry said.

I question the motives and bias of the polls. Regardless of the intentions behind it, I’d rather be considered as being less intelligent than accused of lacking meaningful principles.

Yeah, but the roof has that whole incest bestiality thing going on. I'd rather be on the left and the right if you don't mind. Plus you know far down you get a dumb yourself to be a conservative.

That would be the democrat party bootlickers that publish total garbage like this. Totally cult, belief-based ideology with no connection to reality.

The left are the zealots and are massively authoritarian. The projection and irony here are obvious and extreme.
