Abstract:
The research explores religious adaptation among immigrant-origin youth. To capture different dimensions of religious change, we distinguish between 1) level of religiosity, measured by religious salience and religious practices, and 2) social forms of religious belief, measured as the level of rule orientation and theological exclusivism. We compare immigrant-origin youth in different countries. The results suggest that a process of both religious decline and religious individualization is underway among immigrant origin youth, although this process appears to unfold slower for Muslims than for non-Muslims. We argue that comparative studies on how national contexts of reception shape religious adaptations, as well as studies aiming to disentangle the complex relationship between religious adaptation and integration in other fields, are needed.
