Relative Effects of Religious Tradition, Practices, and Beliefs Religion and Support for Adoption by Same-Sex Couples: The
2020Co-Authors: Andrew L Whitehead, Samuel L PerryAbstract:Abstract This article examines the relative impact of Religious factors on Americans’ attitudes toward adoption by same-sex couples. Drawing upon national survey data, we fit logistic regression models and compute standardized logistic regression coefficients to estimate the relative net effects of Religious Tradition, practices, and beliefs about the Bible on support for same-sex adoption. Findings reveal that Religious factors are among the strongest predictors of opposition to same-sex adoption, but that Religious Tradition has no significant effect on support for same-sex adoption once frequency of Religious practice and beliefs about the Bible are held constant. Americans who more frequently engage in practices such as Religious service attendance and sacred text reading are less supportive of same-sex adoption, and compared to biblical literalists, those who believe the Bible requires interpretation, contains human error, or is a book of history/legends are all more likely to support same-sex adoption. Findings suggest that Religious affiliations matter less for predicting same-sex adoption attitudes than how Americans practice and hold their faith.

neonatal genital herpes simplex virus type 1 infection after jewish ritual circumcision modern medicine and Religious Tradition
Pediatrics, 2004Co-Authors: B Gesundheit, G Grisarusoen, David Greenberg, O Levtzionkorach, Dina Malkin, M Petric, Gideon Koren, B Benzeev, Amir Vardi, Ron DaganAbstract:Objective. Genital neonatal herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) infection was observed in a series of neonates after Traditional Jewish ritual circumcision. The objective of this study was to describe neonate genital HSV-1 infection after ritual circumcision and investigate the association between genital HSV-1 after circumcision and the practice of the Traditional circumcision. Methods. Eight neonates with genital HSV-1 infection after ritual circumcision were identified. Results. The average interval from circumcision to clinical manifestations was 7.25 ± 2.5 days. In all cases, the Traditional circumciser (the mohel ) had performed the ancient custom of orally suctioning the blood after cutting the foreskin (oral metzitzah ), which is currently practiced by only a minority of mohels . Six infants received intravenous acyclovir therapy. Four infants had recurrent episodes of genital HSV infection, and 1 developed HSV encephalitis with neurologic sequelae. All four mohel s tested for HSV antibodies were seropositive. Conclusion. Ritual Jewish circumcision that includes metzitzah with direct oral–genital contact carries a serious risk for transmission of HSV from mohels to neonates, which can be complicated by protracted or severe infection. Oral metzitzah after ritual circumcision may be hazardous to the neonate.

Religious Tradition, Religiosity, or Everyday Theologies? Unpacking Religion’s Relationship to Support for Legalizing Same-Sex Marriage Among a College Student Sample
Review of Religious Research, 2014Co-Authors: N. Eugene Walls, Michael R. Woodford, Denise L. LevyAbstract:This study explores the differential impact of Religious Tradition, religiosity, and everyday theologies on support for legalizing same-sex marriage among a sample of undergraduate college students. The findings suggest that among college students in the United States the group of everyday theologies—personal Religious beliefs that emerge through individuals’ lived experiences and social interactions—that we examine has a larger influence on attitudes about legalizing same-sex marriage than do either Religious Tradition or religiosity (measured as attendance, prayer, and guidance). We operationalize the concept of everyday theologies as levels of endorsement for six different Religious themes. Implications for social movements promoting same-sex marriage and future research are discussed.

Examining the Effects of Exposure to Religion in the Workplace on Perceptions of Religious Discrimination
Review of Religious Research, 2017Co-Authors: Christopher P Scheitle, Elaine Howard EcklundAbstract:Charges of religion-related employment discrimination have doubled in the past decade. Multiple factors are likely contributing to this trend, such as the increased Religious diversity of the US population and the increased interest of employees and some employers in bringing religion to work. Using national survey data we examine how the presence of religion in the workplace affects an individual’s perception of Religious discrimination and how this effect varies by the Religious Tradition of the individual. We find that the more an individual reports that religion comes up at work, the more likely it is that the individual will perceive Religious discrimination. This effect remains even after taking into account the individual’s own Religious Tradition, religiosity, and frequency of talking to others about religion. This effect is stronger, however, for Catholics, Mainline Protestants, and for the Religiously unaffiliated. In workplaces where religion is said to never come up these groups are among the least likely to perceive Religious discrimination. Jews, Muslims, Hindus, and Evangelical Protestants are more likely to perceive Religious discrimination in the workplace even if they say that religion never comes up at work, which makes the effect of exposure to religion in the workplace weaker for these groups. These results show that keeping religion out of the workplace will largely eliminate perceptions of Religious discrimination for some groups, but for other groups the perceptions will remain.

hearing clergy speak about social and political issues examining the effects of Religious Tradition and personal interest
Social Science Quarterly, 2015Co-Authors: Christopher P Scheitle, Nicole CornellAbstract:type="main"> The goal of this research is to identify factors that affect the likelihood that a congregational attendee will report hearing their clergyperson speak about certain social or political issues. The data used for this research come from the 2010 Religion and Public Life Survey. We examine three outcomes measuring whether the respondent reports hearing his or her clergy speak about abortion, homosexuality, or the environment. We find that an individual's personal interest in particular social issues increases the likelihood of reporting hearing about those issues from his or her clergyperson. There are also significant Religious Tradition effects, with Catholics being most likely to report hearing about abortion. These findings shed light on what congregational attendees say they are hearing from their clergy about key social and political issues, which could be very different from what clergy report they are saying, as attendees’ reports will be shaped by their attention to, interest in, and interpretation of the clergy's messages.

2020Co-Authors: Andrew L Whitehead, Samuel L PerryAbstract:Abstract This article examines the relative impact of Religious factors on Americans’ attitudes toward adoption by same-sex couples. Drawing upon national survey data, we fit logistic regression models and compute standardized logistic regression coefficients to estimate the relative net effects of Religious Tradition, practices, and beliefs about the Bible on support for same-sex adoption. Findings reveal that Religious factors are among the strongest predictors of opposition to same-sex adoption, but that Religious Tradition has no significant effect on support for same-sex adoption once frequency of Religious practice and beliefs about the Bible are held constant. Americans who more frequently engage in practices such as Religious service attendance and sacred text reading are less supportive of same-sex adoption, and compared to biblical literalists, those who believe the Bible requires interpretation, contains human error, or is a book of history/legends are all more likely to support same-sex adoption. Findings suggest that Religious affiliations matter less for predicting same-sex adoption attitudes than how Americans practice and hold their faith.
