Compare and contrast people who value "traditional" and "secular–rational" forms of political authority
What will be an ideal response?
Religiosity, nationalism, respect for hierarchical authority relations, and a belief in a clear difference between good and evil are all associated with respect for traditional forms of authority such as kings, tribal chiefs, and religious leaders. In contrast, people who are not religious tend to be more skeptical of authority figures. Further, those who support secular–rational forms of authority are reluctant to affirm a simple difference between good and evil, and are more likely to accept independent judges, nonpartisan bureaucracies, or elected officials which are forms of authority present in democracies.
