Previous studies show that radical right parties in Europe receive relatively low levels of supports from Christian voters, despite that Christian value is highlighted in the European radical right agenda. However, the mechanism remains largely untested. The study investigates the factors underlying Christians voting or not voting for populist radical right parties across Europe, using Round 8 European Social Survey data. It is shown that there is no general relationship between Christian religiosity and radical right voting across European countries. In most countries, Christians are neither more nor less likely to vote for the radical right parties compared to the non-religious. When Christians are underrepresented in radical right supporters, it can hardly be explained by tolerance towards immigrants, pro-social values or social capital presumed to be fostered by Christian religion and church engagement. In some other cases, where Christians are more likely to vote for radical right parties, it is likely to be driven by anti-immigrant attitudes, authoritarian values and moral conservative values. In addition, Christians could have been more mobilizable for radical right parties due to their authoritarian and moral conservative values, which have not been fully capitalized. The study suggests that Christian religiosity does not serve as an “antidote” to the radical right. Tolerance towards immigrants, pro-social values or social capital are rarely the mechanisms driving European Christians away from supporting radical right parties.

调解员解释欧洲基督徒激进的右翼投票模式:对移民、价值观或社会资本的态度?

先前的研究表明,尽管欧洲激进右翼议程强调了基督教价值观,但欧洲激进右翼政党从基督教选民那里得到的支持水平相对较低。然而,该机制在很大程度上仍未得到检验。该研究使用第 8 轮欧洲社会调查数据调查了整个欧洲基督徒投票或不投票给民粹主义激进右翼政党的因素。研究表明,基督教的宗教信仰与欧洲国家的激进右翼投票之间没有普遍的关系。在大多数国家,与非宗教人士相比,基督徒不太可能投票给激进的右翼政党。当激进右翼支持者中基督徒人数不足时,这很难用对移民的宽容来解释,被认为是由基督教和教会参与所培养的亲社会价值观或社会资本。在其他一些情况下,基督徒更有可能投票给激进的右翼政党,这很可能是受到反移民态度、威权价值观和道德保守价值观的推动。此外,由于他们的威权和道德保守价值观,基督徒本可以更容易为激进的右翼政党动员,而这些价值观尚未得到充分利用。该研究表明,基督教的宗教信仰不能作为激进右翼的“解毒剂”。对移民的容忍、亲社会价值观或社会资本很少是驱使欧洲基督徒远离支持激进右翼政党的机制。基督徒更有可能投票给激进的右翼政党,这很可能是受到反移民态度、威权价值观和道德保守价值观的推动。此外,由于他们的威权和道德保守价值观,基督徒本可以更容易为激进的右翼政党动员,而这些价值观尚未得到充分利用。该研究表明,基督教的宗教信仰不能作为激进右翼的“解毒剂”。对移民的容忍、亲社会价值观或社会资本很少是驱使欧洲基督徒远离支持激进右翼政党的机制。基督徒更有可能投票给激进的右翼政党,这很可能是受到反移民态度、威权价值观和道德保守价值观的推动。此外,由于他们的威权和道德保守价值观,基督徒本可以更容易为激进的右翼政党动员,而这些价值观尚未得到充分利用。该研究表明,基督教的宗教信仰不能作为激进右翼的“解毒剂”。对移民的容忍、亲社会价值观或社会资本很少是驱使欧洲基督徒远离支持激进右翼政党的机制。由于他们的威权和道德保守价值观,基督徒本可以更容易为激进的右翼政党动员,而这些价值观尚未得到充分利用。该研究表明,基督教的宗教信仰不能作为激进右翼的“解毒剂”。对移民的容忍、亲社会价值观或社会资本很少是驱使欧洲基督徒远离支持激进右翼政党的机制。由于他们的威权和道德保守价值观,基督徒本可以更容易为激进的右翼政党动员,而这些价值观尚未得到充分利用。该研究表明,基督教的宗教信仰不能作为激进右翼的“解毒剂”。对移民的容忍、亲社会价值观或社会资本很少是驱使欧洲基督徒远离支持激进右翼政党的机制。
