Abstract: type="main">

Past research has omitted religious explanations from analyses of charter school adoption and regulation. The following analyses suggest that religion is more of a factor in state charter school regulations than previously thought.

Ordinal logistic regression is utilized to test the influence of religious conservatives on state charter school regulations.

The findings support the assertion that religious interests—particularly evangelicals—are influential in state charter school regulation.

Consistent with Deckman ([Deckman, Melissa, 2004]), it is suggested that religious factors should not be overlooked when analyzing education policy.
