The 1981 and 1990 European Values Surveys showed a decline for almost all religious variables, a decline even sharper among young people, except for belief in an afterlife.

The 1981 and 1990 European Values Surveys showed a decline for almost all religious
variables, a decline even sharper among young people, except for belief in an afterlife. The
younger the respondents, the less religious they were likely to be. These results confirmed
the thesis of increasing secularization in Europe and the West. However, the most recent,
1999 survey shows this downward trend to be counterbalanced by two other tendencies:
internal Christian renewal and increased “believing without belonging”, both phenomena
that are clearly more developed among young people. The respective strengths of these three
developments vary by country surveyed. The same phenomena are even more pronounced in
Eastern European (former communist bloc) countries and in Russia, once again particularly
among young people. The changes may be interpreted as a turning point after the break with
religiosity that characterized the 1960s and 70s. |
