The Ties That Unbind

Exploring the Contradictory Effects of Religious Guidance and Church Attendance on Black Partisanship

Maruice Mangum

Southern Illinois University, Edwardsville

The goal of this scholarship is to uncover the nature of the relationship between religious guidance and church attendance and Black partisanship. Using the 1996 National Black Election Study, the author examines the effects of these very important Black politics variables on partisanship. The results of the ordinary least squares and logistic regressions indicate that religious guidance encourages Blacks to identify themselves as Democrats, but church attendance fosters identification with the Republican Party. Arguments are provided to explain the contradictory effects of the two influences.

Key Words: Black • partisanship • party identification • religion • church
