Superstitions, Religious Identity, and COVID-19 Conspiracy Beliefs in Secularized Czechia
Original language description
The paper explores how individuals’ religious identity-categorized as non-religious, religious but not affiliated, and religiously affiliated with traditional churches-influences COVID 19 conspiracy beliefs in Czechia. Based on an online sample of more than 7,800 Czech participants, our findings indicate that religiously affiliated individuals were less likely to endorse COVID-19 conspiracy beliefs compared to religious but not affiliated individuals. However, after accounting for individuals’ superstitious beliefs, the differences in COVID-19 conspiracy beliefs between the three categories became negligible. Additionally, we found that public practices negatively affected COVID-19 conspiracy beliefs among individuals affiliated with traditional churches.
