This year, PRRI researched how religion, party, education, race, and other factors intersect with Christian nationalist views and attitudes about Confederate monuments in public spaces:
“PRRI interviewed more than 22,000 adults as part of its American Values Atlas, providing — for the first time — the ability to estimate support for Christian nationalism in all 50 states.”
– Support for Christian Nationalism in All 50 States
“When asked about ‘efforts to preserve the legacy and history of the Confederacy through public memorials and statues,’ 52% of Americans support such efforts compared with 44% who oppose them, nearly identical to 2022.”
– Creating More Inclusive Public Spaces Two Years Later
This year also saw the release of the paperback edition of PRRI Founder and President Robert P. Jones’ New York Times-bestselling book, The Hidden Roots of White Supremacy and the Path to a Shared American Future, featuring a new afterward on Christian nationalism.
