Abstract

In the process of replicating the findings of this article, Dr. Tobin Grant alerted us (2018) to several errors that were made in the calculations and interpretations in our article. Specifically, Dr. Grant was unable to replicate the percentage of evangelicals from the General Social Survey (GSS) presented in Figure 1 when using the new self-identification measure, as well as in some of the t-test results we show via comparison of confidence intervals in Figures 2 and 3. After some investigation, we confirm that there were coding errors that produced incorrect findings in our published article, as well as errors in interpretation. We would like to describe and correct those mistakes. Figure 1 reports the percentage of evangelicals using both affiliation and self-identification measures. The self-identification measure excludes (Figure Presented).
