Abstract

A long line of research has established that Americans who subscribe to Christian nationalism have a preference for those inside their group and animosity toward those outside their group. These beliefs may impede the equal application of the rule of law, a link that has been suggested but not formally tested. Utilizing experimental data from a survey conducted in fall 2021, we assess the equal application of the rule of law for in and outgroup members conditional on Christian nationalism and belief in Christian persecution. We suggest that ingroup love may move distinctly from outgroup hate. Our results suggest that Christian nationalists have a preference for the ingroup, but do not automatically denigrate outgroups. However, belief in Christian persecution drives animosity toward outgroups, while not elevating the ingroup. Christian nationalist outgroup hatred must be triggered by threat, which has been the project of movement and party elites.

基督教民族主义的 "内群爱 "与 "外群恨"：有关法治实施的实验证据

一长串的研究表明，信奉基督教民族主义的美国人对自己群体内的人有偏好，对群体外的人有敌意。这些信念可能会阻碍法治的平等应用，这种联系已被提出，但尚未得到正式检验。利用2021年秋季进行的一项调查的实验数据，我们评估了在基督教民族主义和信仰基督教迫害的条件下，法治对内外群体成员的平等适用。我们认为，群体内的爱可能与群体外的恨明显不同。我们的研究结果表明，基督教民族主义者对内部群体有偏好，但不会自动贬低外部群体。然而，对基督教迫害的信仰导致了对外部群体的仇恨，而没有提升内部群体。基督教民族主义的群体外仇恨一定是由威胁引发的，这一直是运动和政党精英的项目。

期刊介绍： Politics and Religion is an international journal publishing high quality peer-reviewed research on the multifaceted relationship between religion and politics around the world. The scope of published work is intentionally broad and we invite innovative work from all methodological approaches in the major subfields of political science, including international relations, American politics, comparative politics, and political theory, that seeks to improve our understanding of religion’s role in some aspect of world politics. The Editors invite normative and empirical investigations of the public representation of religion, the religious and political institutions that shape religious presence in the public square, and the role of religion in shaping citizenship, broadly considered, as well as pieces that attempt to advance our methodological tools for examining religious influence in political life.
