Running head: RELIGIOUS IMPLICIT AND EXPLICIT ATTITUDES #1
Abstract
This paper will explain how you can have different explicit feelings and implicit feelings about religion. The Implicit Attitude Test (IAT) that my family took online measured on a subconscious level whether you had a preference for a certain religion. My participants (my family) showed almost no preference to any of the four religions, along with post test questions that expanded on the IAT's results. This paper will look into, and try to understand why my family believe the things they believe. Paper #1: Religious Implicit and Explicit Attitudes

For example, if a person sees a Muslim in an airport, he/she...
