Thomson, Randall and Knoke, David, "Voluntary Associations and Voting Turnout of American Ethnoreligious Groups," Ethnicity, 7 (March, 1980), 56-69.

Abstract:

Blacks are less likely than white Catholics or Protestants to belong to voluntary associations. Catholics, however, compensate for their minority position by greater participation in voluntary groups. Membership in associations is not likely to cause blacks and white Catholics to vote in presidential elections any more than white Protestants. Even when the strength of ethno/religious identification is considered, no relationship is found between this variable and voting behavior.
