Individual Religiosity. Religious Self-Description Among Young People
Gärtner Christel
Research article (book contribution) | Peer reviewedAbstract
This paper considers the religiosity of young people which state that they are not religious but believing and address the following questions: What does it mean when young people tend to classify themselves in surveys as non-religious? Does it mean that young people are not (or no longer) religious, or does it mean that they associate "religious" with a religion passed down by the church? Does this mean that a standardized question of self-classification in surveys cannot grasp the religiosity of young people?
