Religion and Prejudice: The Role of Religious Fundamentalism, Quest, and Right-Wing Authoritarianism.
Hunsberger, Bruce
Journal of Social Issues, v51 n2 p113-29 Sum 1995
Investigates whether religion may actually contribute to intolerance, discrimination, suffering, and bloodshed in the world. The author offers study findings that suggest relationships among religious fundamentalism, quest, right-wing authorization, and prejudice. It is suggested that it is how people hold their religious beliefs, rather than the religion itself, that produces prejudice. (GR)
