This study examines the effect of both religious preference and political ideology on religious tolerance. The problem it addresses is that many current studies generalize findings to all religious people when the samples come from homogenous religious groups. The purpose of the study was to test this generalizability assumption within the framework of political ideology theory. Alexander (2015) advanced a political ideology theory, which held that conservatism is inherently intolerant, and this has been supported in literature concerning religious populations (Hook, et al, 2017). To accomplish the purpose, a religiously diverse sample of participants was recruited from Facebook, Linkedin, and MTurk. The participants, which included Buddhists (n=40), Christians (n=263), Muslims (n=53), Jews (n=58), and nonreligious people (n=47) responded to 39 survey items which measured 1) religious preference (nominal dependent variable), 2) religious tolerance (interval-ratio dependent variable), and 3) political ideology (interval-ratio covariate). The data were analyzed using one-way ANCOVA, which revealed significant differences between individual religious groups, and between the overall religious group and the nonreligious group. Based upon the findings of higher intolerance in the more conservative and more liberal groups compared with the moderate groups, it is recommended that studies using homogenous samples from a single religion should not generalize findings to overall "religious" people. It is also recommended that future research focus on the potential for intolerance associated with fundamentalist liberalism. The findings of this study imply that the relationships regarding religion, political ideology, and religious tolerance are much more nuanced and complex to fit a simplified model, and institutional leaders should be aware of the religious and ideological makeup of their populations to help make decisions that will result in the most peaceful outcomes.
