Since The Netherlands is a multicultural society, knowledge is needed in whether religious factors could predict some of the attitudes towards immigrants, measured as interethnic egalitarianism. To get a better insight in how this relationship, if any, works, general egalitarianism was taken into account. It was believed religiosity would be associated with more prejudice, hence less interethnic egalitarianism, but also a broader support for equality, general egalitarianism. This study shows that native Dutch religious people are not per definition more negative about interethnic egalitarianism than non-believers. However, moderate believers seem to be less positive about general and interethnic egalitarianism. General egalitarianism is strongly associated with interethnic egalitarianism, and for religious people who are less positive about general egalitarianism it explains their attitude towards interethnic egalitarianism. Gender, age and educational level proofed to be better predictors. Therefore, suggestions for future research are discussed
