Description: Abstract: Low political support for religious minority groups in the United States is often explained as a matter of social distance or unfamiliarity of religious traditions. Observable differences between beliefs and behaviors of religious minority groups and the cultural mainstream are thought to demarcate group boundaries. However, little scholarship has examined why some practices become symbolic boundaries that reduce support for religious accommodation in public policy, while nearly identical practices are tolerated. We hypothesize that politics is an important component of the process by which some religious practices are transformed into demarcations between “us” and “them.” We conduct an original survey experiment in which people are exposed to an identical policy demand – women-only swim times at a local public pool – attributed to three different religious denominations (Muslim, Jewish, and Pentecostal.) We find that people are less supportive of women-only swim times when the requesting religion is not a part of their partisan coalition.
