During the COVID-19 pandemic, Americans' behavioral responses were quickly politicized Those on the left stressed precautionary behaviors, while those on the (religious) right were more likely to disregard recommended precautions We propose the far right response was driven less by partisanship or religiosity per se, but rather by an ideology that connects disregard for scientific expertise;a conception of Americans as God's chosen and protected people;distrust for news media;and allegiance to Trump?Christian nationalism Analyzing panel data collected in the thick of the COVID-19 crisis, we find Christian nationalism was the leading predictor that Americans engaged in incautious behavior like eating in restaurants, visiting family/friends, or gathering with 10+ persons (though not attending church), and was the second strongest predictor that Americans took fewer precautions like wearing a mask or sanitizing/washing one's hands Religiosity, in contrast, was the leading predictor that Americans engaged in more frequent precautionary behaviors Findings document that Christian nationalism, not religious commitment per se, undergirded the far-right response to COVID-19 that disregarded precautionary recommendations, thus potentially worsening the pandemic

文化战争和 COVID-19 行为：基督教民族主义、宗教信仰和美国人在冠状病毒大流行期间的行为

在 COVID-19 大流行期间，美国人的行为反应迅速被政治化 左派强调预防行为，而（宗教）右派更有可能无视建议的预防措施 我们建议极右翼的反应较少受到党派偏见或宗教信仰的驱动本身，而是一种意识形态，这种意识形态将无视科学专业知识；将美国人视为上帝拣选和保护的人；对新闻媒体的不信任；以及对特朗普的忠诚？基督教民族主义分析在 COVID-19 中收集的面板数据危机中，我们发现基督教民族主义是美国人从事不谨慎行为的主要预测因素，例如在餐馆吃饭、拜访家人/朋友或与 10 人以上的聚会（尽管不去教堂），并且是美国人戴口罩或消毒/洗手等预防措施较少的第二强预测因素 相比之下，宗教信仰是美国人采取更频繁预防行为的主要预测因素 调查结果表明，基督教民族主义，而不是宗教承诺本身，支持极右翼对 COVID-19 的反应，无视预防建议，从而可能使大流行病恶化从而可能使大流行病恶化从而可能使大流行病恶化
