    “We were surprised at the effect sizes we observed. When occurring together, biblical literalism and Christian nationalism had a much stronger effect than well-established predictors of conspiracy thinking, like education,” Walker said. “It’s also important not to lump all religious activity together — religious service attendance was consistently associated with less conspiracy thinking.”

    I do find it interesting that attending church is associated with decreased conspiratorial thinking. I also find it hilarious that all those hypocrites out there are making their whole identities around being Christians and they don’t even go to church.
