The second thing to note is that there are different types of “religion’” Here I confine ourselves to Christianity. Psychologist Gordon Allport (1966, “The religious context of prejudice”, Journal for the Scientific Study of Religion, No. 5, 447-457) has identified three types of adherent: (1) the extrinsic (‘means to an end’) believer, (2) the instrinsic (‘for its own sake’) believer, and (3) the ‘indiscriminately pro-religious’ believer (who accepts something unthinkingly).
Aquí me limito al cristianismo. El psicólogo Gordon Allport (1966, “The religious context of prejudice”, Journal for the Scientific Study of Religion, No. 5, 447-457) ha identificado tres tipos de adherentes: (1) el creyente extrínseco (“el medio para un fin”) (2) el creyente intrínseco («por su propio bien ‘), y (3) el creyente indiscriminadamente pro-religioso (quien acepta algo sin pensar).
