The Broader Political Significance of Houses of Worship: Theory and Evidence from Indonesian Mosques
Mosques in Indonesia, temples in India, churches in the U.S. Houses of worship are everywhere and serve social and economic functions. But, do they also have political significance? Can they influence the political attitudes and behaviors of the communities in which they are located? Analyzing surveys and mosques data in Indonesia, this talk illuminates the political consequences of houses of worship.
