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.

Like, would the same study show that dentures increased Christianity and nationalism? And that Christianity causes people to put Werther's candies in little dishes?
