?:abstract
  • Religious partipation is far lower in most western European nations than in the United States. Most European social scientists believe this is a demand-side phenomenon in that Europeans no longer find religion plausible. But, recently some American social scientists have defined it as a supply-side phenomenon -- that lax and inefficient state-supported European churches suppress participation. A crucial experiment would assess these competing claims by selecting a random sample of Europeans and transporting them to America. Does their religious behavior (and that of their children) became "Americanized" as they are exposed to a vigorous supply-side? In this paper I approximate such an experiment by comparing the religiousness of first-, second-, and third-generation German Americans with their German "cousins." The results very strongly support the supply-side explanation. (xsd:string)
