?:abstract
  • The article treats the specifically Nordic paradox, of a high level of churchmembership in four national populations combining with a low level of religiouspractice and church attendance. This fact has often been explained as the outcomeof a spirit of a civil religiosity, which makes the church a symbol of thenation and of national culture. Church membership is in this view an aspect ofthe identification of individuals with their country. The concept of civil religiosityis here studied through the data from four Nordic countries in the 1999-2000 European Values Study survey, concentrating on variables that marginallyrelate to religious traditions without designating identification with churchdogmas. Through factor analysis Nordic civil religiosity seems to appear in twoforms; broadly, as carrying elements of traditional ritual behaviour and individualreligiosity, and, narrowly, as focusing on church-administered celebrationsof family rites of passage. Finally, a "civil religious" model as a prediction ofchurch-membership among the respondents is applied with varying results forthe four countries. (xsd:string)
