Summary

A dominant area of study within Political Science includes the relationship between political and religious beliefs. For many decades, scholars have attempted to disentangle this model and determine the causal link among the two. Which belief set comes first? Which belief set influences the other more? An area that has not been greatly dissected within the literature is the effect in which denomination participation affects Protestant individuals. This research aims to fill that gap by determining if the hierarchical organization of denomination has an effect on an individual's political preference.
