Material type: ArticlePublisher: 2001British Journal of Political Science 31, 3, p. 523-554Abstract: Two theoretical perspectives on the connection between religion and politcs are applied to Great Britain. Data from the 1991 and 1992 waves of the British Household Panel Study, used to conduct multinominal logistic regression analysis, dispute the general consensus that religion has weak or no effects on the voting decisions of British citizens. Religious belonging, behaviour and belief, as well as the religious context of households, continue to influence British voting behaviour. Interaction effects among religious variables and between regligious variables and class also operate to influence vote choices.
