One of the most important new measurements in political science is racial resentment. It's adjacent to racism, but tries to understand some of the thinking behind racist views.

This is a scale from zero (no resentment) to four.

The Qs are in the next tweet.
Over 60% of white evangelicals score a 3 or 4 on the scale, followed by 52.5% of Orthodox Christians.

It's about half of white Catholic in the top two categories, but mainline Prots aren't far behind (42.2%).

62.6% of agnostics and 70.6% of atheists score zero
Just to add on to this:

White evangelicals who attend church more than once a week have the highest racial resentment score of any attendance group.
One last one on racial resentment - by race and partisanship.

White resentment is typically the highest, however in many cases Hispanic scores are similar.

A white Ind. has a resentment score 4x higher than a white Strong Dem. It's 6x higher for a Strong Rep. white.
