ABSTRACT
This chapter reviews evidence for connections between religion, prejudice, and intergroup relations that comes from correlational studies and some experiments. The chapter is organized into three sections in which we 1) brief y review meta-analyses of correlational studies, 2) detail religious priming experiments from which causation can be inferred, and 3) discuss how several classic and contemporary psychological theories about intergroup attitudes and relations explain why religion and religiousness lead to some prejudices.
