GoKawiilStudy links Christian nationalist beliefs to lower verbal test scores
A new study by University of Oklahoma sociologist Samuel Perry, published in the Journal for the Scientific Study of Religion, analyzed decades of General Social Survey data from 1989 to 2024. It found that Americans who scored lower on a cognitive vocabulary test were more likely to say being Christian is important to being 'truly American' and more likely to oppose the Supreme Court's ban on school prayer.
