Figure 2

Scatterplot with trend lines displaying the density of belief systems over time from 2010 to 2021, segmented by political affiliation. Each political group is represented by a different color: Republicans (red), Democrats (blue), Independent/Other (green), and No party/Not interested (yellow). Data points for each group are plotted across different waves, showing a significant upward trend for no party group and a slight upward trend for politically affiliated groups. The background includes a shaded grey area indicating the confidence interval for one of the trend lines. The y-axis is labeled 'Density' and ranges from 0 to 0.100, while the x-axis is labeled 'Wave' and spans from 2010 to 2021.
