This paper examines the nature of religious influences on vote choice in the 2024 US presidential election. Using the 2024 iterations of the American National Election Study and the Cooperative Election Study, we consider the relative influence of traditional "ethnocultural" religious voting and more recent "restructuring" factors. We put our findings in historical context, comparing 2024 findings with those for presential contests since 1936. We also weigh the direct influence of religious traits on voting, controlling for social class, education, gender, age and other important factors.
