ment for religious education and the priority of religion model: that it helps realize the important social goods of toleration and mutual respect. This is an empirical claim, but we argue that it seems to lack plausibility on several grounds, not least because it endows religions with too much significance in the explanation of intolerance and ...

In the United States, religious attendance rises sharply with education across individuals, but religious attendance declines sharply with education across denominations. This puzzle is explained if education both increases the returns to social connection and reduces the extent of religious belief, and if beliefs are closely linked to denominatio...
Changes in the sign of a relationship between individual-level and group-level regressions can occur when the key independent variable is correlated with a third variable that has a direct, opposite effect on the outcome and when this third variable is related to the sorting across macro-groups. The key condition for a individual level/group level...
. Denominations are assumed to be just groups of individuals. There is no direct impact of denomination on religious attendance holding beliefs constant. But there is sorting across denominations on the basis of both education and beliefs. We assume that there is a continuum of denominations, each indexed with “j”. This denomination index ...
. This term can obviously only be negative as long as α αB E E is negative, so sorting by education and belief must go in opposite directions (which we have already documented in Table 3). The joint condition for attendance to rise with education at the person level but for attendance to fall with education at the denomination level is: 1 β > B δ...
In this section, we first show the negative relationship between education and religious beliefs that we expect should impact the perceived returns to attendance either in daily life or in the hereafter.13 Then we will present a methodology for mapping our estimated coefficients into a range for the values of δ . We will end this section by pres...
Within the U.S., education raises religious attendance at an individual level. This does not seem unusual to us because religious attendance is a major form of social interaction and education raises every other measurable form of social connection. We do not fully understand why education has this impact on social connection, but it seems to be ...
