In the religion and politics space, we are seeing calls to repeal the 19th Amendment. @pauldjupe.bsky.social and I have been collecting data about that, and it looks like younger Americans are the most open to that argument.

Complementarianism -- the belief that men lead and women submit -- is the worldview underneath the tradwife aesthetic. And warmth toward tradwives does rise with complementarianism, but only for men.

Thanks for covering this important issue. @pauldjupe.bsky.social and I have been collecting data on support for repealing the 19th, and I was surprised to see the idea has gained traction. We've published some early results here: religioninpublic.blog/2025/10/21/t...

@pauldjupe.bsky.social and I argue that Woodruff's work illustrates the appeal of Christian nationalism across racial lines. Our data shows that regardless of how you measure Christian nationalism, support is not uniquely concentrated among White respondents.

But here's where it gets interesting. Gun ownership matters. Gun identity matters more. People who strongly identify _as gun owners_ — for whom it's part of their self-concept — are especially likely to support political violence.

And the interaction is where things really come into focus. Christian nationalism supplies the grievance and moral justification. Gun identity supplies the normative readiness to act. Together, they create a more permissive environment for political violence than either one alone.

Experiment 2: IRS violations committed by either a generic nonprofit leader, a Christian pastor, or a Muslim imam. As Christian nationalism increased, punitiveness toward the pastor _fell_ — and punitiveness toward the imam _rose_. Same crime. Radically different justice.

As Christian nationalism rises, punitiveness for tax evasion decreases when the perpetrator is a non-profit leader or Christian pastor. As Christian nationalism rises, punitiveness for tax evasion when perpetrated by an Islamic imam rises.

This graph shows the relationship between complementarianism and support for a household vote, by gender. The gap between men and women is real, but both lines go in the same direction.

In a new piece titled 'Jesus and John Wayne Wannabes', now out at Sociology of Religion, @pauldjupe.bsky.social and I explore the role of felt gender on Christian nationalism. We find that men who describe themselves as feminine use Christian nationalism as a compensatory tool.
