?:abstract
  • Most scholars of identity focus on processes of boundary maintenance rather than on the cultural content of identity categories (e.g., language, religion). In this article, the author explores the cultural content of national identity categories in Europe. He focuses on individual and collective factors that are associated with the salience of Christianity for national identity in seventeen European countries. At the individual level, the author focuses on the relationships between the salience of Christianity for national identity and religious majority and minority status, frequency of attendance of religious services, and their interaction. At the country level, using a group-threat perspective, lie examines the relationships between the salience of Christianity for national identity and the size of various non-Christian populations, diversity in the non-Christian population, and their statistical interaction. Individual-level survey data tire from the International Social Survey Programme 1995: National Identity (Zentralarchive 1998), and country-level data are from the World Christian Encyclopedia (Barrett, Kurian, and Johnson 2001). The author uses multilevel modeling techniques to analyze these data. Results support group-threat and constructionist perspectives of national identity and suggest key factors at multiple units of analysis that promote a link between Christianity and national identity in Europe. Keywords: nationalism; national identity; religion; Christianity; Islam. (xsd:string)
