Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Who commits religious discrimination, and why? Recent findings at the country level show an inverse relationship between societal religiosity and social religious discrimination, but findings at the individual level show an increase in conservatism among religious practitioners. In this study, I seek to bridge the gap these levels with a novel framework of religious identity. I argue that the threat of secularism can cause religious communities to reinforce boundaries between themselves and other groups. This should manifest itself in hostile attitudes toward members of other religions. I test this theory using multilevel data. I find that as aggregate religiosity declines, individual religiosity increasingly predicts inter-religious hostility. At the same time, this effect is only the case concerning community- and practice-based aspects of religiosity, and not among beliefs in-and-of-themselves. This study bridges a gap between macro-level findings regarding religion and state and micro-level findings regarding the modernization hypothesis.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
