His research centers on Sociology of Religion, Racial Identity, and Political Ideology, with a particular focus on anti-Christian bias, identity politics, religious outgrouping, and the dynamics of racial and religious tolerance in academic and social settings. He explores how progressive ideologies intersect with religious beliefs and how these interactions shape social attitudes and institutional practices.
His recent publications reveal a strong trend in analyzing identity-based divisions, particularly between progressive and conservative Christians, and how political and religious identities influence racial attitudes and well-being. He has developed measurement tools such as an antiracism scale and investigates whether identity politics enhances or undermines psychological well-being.
