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.

    Not sure how strong this study is but the idea makes sense. Religion requires a lot of faith and lacks a lot of concrete proof.

      nah, it has nothing to do with religion and everything to do with politics. christianity is the religion of the white supremacist western empire. they don’t actually care about christianity but about using it as a tool to impose a reactionary ideology. i know many christians in latin america and their thoughts are very different, because here in the exploited backyard we have adopted religion as a liberation movement (until the us nazi regime started introducing pentecostals to fight against liberation theology). so i’m sure the actual link is that stupidity is reactionary, and being a reactionary is stupid.
