An online publication, "The Daily Digest," has published an article about research showing that those they have labeled as Christian Nationalists and Christians who believe the Holy Bible is to be taken literally are more likely to believe in conspiracy theories.
As in every argument, I think it is necessary to put all arguments in a proper context. The article used Christians' religious beliefs as a basis to assume that all of them believe in conspiracy theories. The article has, in a sense, profiled Christianity. Profiling is a practice that the secular world decries. Yet, it appears to be a major tool used by secularists to discredit those whom they don't agree with.
The argument that Christians are more susceptible to believing in "conspiracy theories" falls right into a definition known as "the fallacy of composition," which states that the fallacy of composition is an informal fallacy that arises when one infers that something is true of the whole from the fact that it is true of some part of the whole.
Scripturally, in 2 Timothy 3:13-16 Christians receive a warning about evil men and seducers who continuously worsen, deceiving and being deceived. 10 But thou hast fully known my doctrine, manner of life, purpose, faith, long-suffering, charity, patience, 11Persecutions, afflictions, which came unto me at Antioch, at Iconium, at Lystra; what persecutions I endured: but out of them all the Lord delivered me. 12Yea and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution. 13 But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived. But you, continue in the things which you have learned and have been assured of, knowing from whom you have learned them. 16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness.
