?:abstract
  • A comparative analysis of fundamental beliefs in twenty countries, based on three international surveys. The rapid decline in beliefs over the last two decades is confined, geographically, to Western Europe. The analysis deals with the importance of God in people's lives, perceptions of a personal God (who knows each human being personally) or a spiritualized force, religious socialization, the significance of prayer & the Bible, & the loss of faith in correlation with age groups & the dynamic of generations. The key idea is that it is possible to check, sociologically, whether God is present or absent in people's minds. Belief in the existence of God is an observable social fact. The decline in the strength of belief in certain dogma leads to doubt & indifference rather than atheism. (xsd:string)
