The current study examines the extent to which religiosity account for ideological orientations in 16 countries from five continents (Australia, Brazil, Chile, Germany, Greece, Finland, Israel, Italy, Japan, Poland, Slovakia, Spain, Turkey, Ukraine, the United Kingdom, and the United States). Results showed that religiosity was consistently related to right and conservative ideologies in all countries, except Australia. This relation held across different religions, and did not vary across participant’s demographic conditions (i.e., gender, age, income, and education). After controlling for basic personal values, the contribution of religiosity on ideology was still significant. However, the effect was substantial only in countries where religion has played a prominent role in the public sphere, such as Spain, Poland, Greece, Italy, Slovakia, and Turkey. In the other countries, the unique contribution of religiosity was marginal or small.

目前的研究调查了来自五大洲（澳大利亚、巴西、智利、德国、希腊、芬兰、以色列、意大利、日本、波兰、斯洛伐克、西班牙、土耳其、乌克兰、美国）的 16 个国家的宗教信仰对意识形态取向的影响程度。王国和美国）。结果表明，除澳大利亚外，所有国家的宗教信仰始终与正确和保守的意识形态相关。这种关系适用于不同的宗教，并且不会因参与者的人口统计条件（即性别、年龄、收入和教育）而异。在控制了基本的个人价值观之后，宗教信仰对意识形态的贡献依然显着。然而，只有在宗教在公共领域发挥突出作用的国家，如西班牙、波兰、希腊、意大利、斯洛伐克、和土耳其。在其他国家，宗教信仰的独特贡献是微不足道的或很小的。
