A recent study indicates that Americans with lower cognitive ability scores tend to be more likely to embrace Christian nationalism. The findings suggest the ideology’s appeal is linked to underlying cognitive resources rather than just educational differences.
If you think plenty of smart people don’t also believe many stupidly wrong things based on no evidence…
Being a Christian Nationalist goes far beyond holding a mere belief. Even if whatever point you’re trying to make is true, do you really think that “smart people who are not Christian Nationalists” have no distinguishable difference from “Christian Nationalists”?
(I’d hazard it’s hardly based on evidence, or epistemology if that’s what you’re going for.)
