Abstract
A novel concept, the Hate Group Representation Rate (HGRR), is introduced and defined as a measure of the social problem of the degree to which hate groups are present and represented within specified ecological units of analysis, specifically within the U.S. states. Exploration of several and various relationships between the HGRR and religiosity measures considered within national Gallup Poll and Pew Forum of Religion and Public Life surveys reveals numerous and consistent statistically significant associations between Hate Group Representation and indicators of religiosity between and among states. The findings provide justification sufficient for the formulation of two hypotheses predicting a positive association between HGRR and Evangelical Protestant Fundamentalism in the U.S. Indirect confirmatory research findings related to critical thinking, religious orientations, and intergroup relations are discussed and presented as potentially fruitful areas for further empirical inquiry.
