Each individual in a sample was asked to indicate on a quantitative scale how willing he or she was to spend money on the environment and also how strongly he or she believed in God (“Religion and Attitudes Toward the Environment,” Journal for the Scientific Study of Religion [1993]: 19–28). The resulting value of the sample correlation coefficient was r = −.085. Would you agree with the stated conclusion that stronger support for environmental spending is associated with a weaker degree of belief in God? Explain your reasoning.
