These discussions often include laments about the absence of religion from shared civic spaces, particularly within public schools. Building on research connecting Christian nationalism to a worldview that rejects structural/policy-based interventions to gun violence and promotes “righteous violence,” we theorize a link between support for public schools to allow for teacher-led Christian prayers and patterned solutions for school shootings. We analyze data from a recent, nationally representative survey of American parents. Compared to most parents who reject any teacher-led prayers, parents who support teacher-led Christian prayers are more likely to endorse pro-gun and infrastructural interventions (letting teachers and administrators carry guns, posting police and armed security, installing metal detectors) but not structural/policy-based interventions (banning assault weapons, mental health screening). Tests for moderating effects reveal few consistent patterns, though some associations vary across political ideology. Findings affirm a link between support for teacher-led Christian prayer in public schools and solutions to school shootings that are more directed toward increasing gun access for “good guys” (teachers, admin, police, security) and limiting access for “bad guys,” but only on school grounds (metal detectors, not mental health screening or bans).</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":51390,"journal":{"name":"Journal for the Scientific Study of Religion","volume":"64 3","pages":"361-368"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2025-08-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145038523","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"哲学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

One potential factor involves how Judeo-Christian individuals interpret the Bible. We administered a nationwide survey to investigate the relationship between religiosity, biblical interpretation, and evolution acceptance. We also surveyed undergraduate students in a biology course before and after they underwent a culturally competent module on evolution. We found that religiosity predicted a more literal interpretation of the Bible, and these factors negatively predicted evolution acceptance in both samples. After the module, biblical literalism in the classroom decreased, predicting an increase in evolution acceptance without any decrease in religiosity. While the nationwide relationship between religiosity and evolution acceptance is generally understood, this study more directly reaffirms that biblical literalism is linked to evolution rejection and takes an important step into investigating interventions. Offering alternatives to biblical literalism may help educators increase evolution acceptance without threatening student religiosity.</p>","PeriodicalId":51390,"journal":{"name":"Journal for the Scientific Study of Religion","volume":"64 3","pages":"328-340"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2025-08-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/jssr.70004","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145038548","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"哲学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

More specifically, researchers have shown that becoming religious is something that people must learn how to do. Adding to this well-established focus on the socialization of religious subjects, I argue that becoming religious also involves learning and being taught how to pay attention. Drawing from ethnographic findings on religious conversion to Eastern Orthodoxy as well as other cases, I demonstrate how and to what ends religious embodied practices, material artifacts, and narratives cultivate actors’ attentional habits and capacities. Via this education of attention, aspects of actors’ lived experience become open to the possibility of new religious signification and interpretation. At the same time, what would otherwise be abstract religious meanings are able to take on concrete, perceptible forms, making them more phenomenally realistic and compelling. By paying sociological attention to the education of attention, we gain new insight into how, exactly, religious meanings become implicated in peoples’ lived experiences and self-understandings.</p>","PeriodicalId":51390,"journal":{"name":"Journal for the Scientific Study of Religion","volume":"64 3","pages":"279-290"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2025-04-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/jssr.12956","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145037999","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"哲学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Jewish law, alongside traditions and customs developed over the years, mandates changes during the Sabbath, including prohibitions and restrictions. However, interviews with ultra-Orthodox Israelis reveal a more complex picture. Rather than perceiving religious law as limiting, they view these practices as creating a sacred religious world that transcends the ordinary and is linked to feelings of choice and liberation. Observing these Shabbat laws connects individuals to sacred time and transforms what may seem restrictive into an empowering experience. By analyzing the emotional and experiential dimensions of devout Shabbat observance, this article offers a broader theoretical perspective on how embodied religious practices shape community and religious–cultural traditions while contributing to a deeper understanding of personal agency in creating sacred experiences as part of the wider context of religious life.</p>","PeriodicalId":51390,"journal":{"name":"Journal for the Scientific Study of Religion","volume":"64 4","pages":"385-395"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2025-03-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/jssr.12954","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145666138","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"哲学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
