Abstract (sommario):

Abstract The study is a critical evaluation of the relationship between Religion and Conflict, with a case study in South Sudan (based on the findings of Noa Salomon 2013;2014). With the aid of power theory, conflict theory, frustration and aggression theory, the study seeks to determine the extent to which religious oppression still exists in South Sudan with other specific aims such as determining the provisions for religious freedom in South Sudan, finding the role of religion in peacebuilding and assessing the challenges faced in religious tolerance in South Sudan. This is a qualitative study and it made use of the multi methods technique as used by Creswell et al, 2003 with emphasis on content analysis method in analyzing the set research objectives. The argumentative approach, abductive reasoning, analytical approach, and hermeneutic approach are some of the other methods employed in the study alongside content analysis. The results from the study show that religious oppression still exists significantly in South Sudan, but the exact extent is not determined. Findings from the paper further show that religion and religious actors play a very important role in peacebuilding in South Sudan and they have been successful at peace at the grassroots level but the same cannot be said for its role at the national level. It has been recommended that the South Sudanese Government and other stakeholders should implement already existing peace agreements. Also, policymakers should employ policies that would increase the influence of religious actors on the national level. Keywords: religion, conflict, oppression, discrimination, Islamization, South Sudan, peace works

Abstract (sommario):

The growth in recent decades of less traditionally religious groups has inspired a reevaluation of the effect of religious tradition and religiosity on sociopolitical attitudes, particularly attitudes toward immigrants. Additionally, the historic increase in Mexican and Central American immigrants to the U.S. has fixed national attention on immigration reform. Despite a consensus concerning the need for immigration reform in the U.S., existing literature, surveys, and public commentary have shown that issues of immigration foster atypical patterns of support and opposition, particularly among religious groups. As a result, research examining the effects of religious tradition and religiosity on attitudes toward immigrants has yielded contradictory results.

Using data from the 2004 General Social Survey, the author aims to construct a more nuanced theoretical framework that distinguishes between the effects of religious tradition and religiosity on attitudes toward immigrants. Among the most notable findings are that members of less traditionally religious groups, those with lower religiosity, and more highly educated respondents have more positive attitudes toward immigrants, while greater perceived economic and cultural threats posed by immigrants create more negative attitudes. The author also finds that religiosity has different effects on attitudes toward immigrants for Black Protestants compared to white Evangelical Protestants. Additional findings and their implications are discussed.

Abstract (sommario):

This thesis is an investigation into teachers' status in Kuwait, what it is and the reasons for it. The question was posed and systematically investigated as to the standing of teachers, an issue of great significance for Kuwait and its education system. The thesis also explores the connections between teacher status and teacher education and the possibility of using improvements in teacher education to raise the status of teachers. The study is heavily based on empirical work, specifically: three substantial surveys and a case study that includes a fourth smaller survey. The collection of data is predominantly, though not exclusively, quantitative. A short questionnaire on teachers' status was administered to, 5200 citizens, 0.65% of the popUlation, using a network or 'snowball' technique. A longer questionnaire was administered to 320 final-year students in a cross-section of Kuwaiti secondary schools. A third questionnaire was administered to 1200 teachers (4% of the teacher population). The response rates for all three surveys exceeded 95%. The hypothetically significant variables considered in these surveys variously included gender, socio-cultural group, age, family status, academic ability, professional experience, subject specialism and nationality. In addition, an extended case study was carried out in the College of Basic Education, the training institution for primary teachers in Kuwait. The findings of these surveys and of the case-study are compared with each other and, to a lesser extent, with previous research that has been conducted in regard to teacher status in other educational systems. At an early stage of the analysis, some findings were presented to two members of the 'educational elite' in Kuwait for their interpretation and comment. The following are some examples of the findings of the study. Kuwaiti society sees the relative status of teachers as middle-order. The public have higher views of teachers than either teachers or trainee teachers have of themselves. The standing of the College of Basic Education is perceived as low by all sectors, including trainees at the college. Up to 28% of school-Ieavers were conSidering teaching as a career option, but almost none of these are academically able students. Kuwaitis choose teaching very much more for pragmatic than for 'vocational' reasons. Sociocultural group is the variable with the widest influence on the matters investigated. Gender is less significant than expected in some areas.

Abstract (sommario):

O Encontro para a Nova Consciência ocorre em Campina Grande (Paraíba Nordeste do Brasil), desde 1992, durante o período de carnaval, tornando-se palco de um atrativo e intrigante acontecimento, não tão facilmente visto em outras partes do mundo, atualmente. Ao observarmos as particularidades marcantes desta experiência religiosa, em tamanha diversidade, somos capazes de caracterizá-lo como sendo um fenômeno religioso pós-moderno. Estudando os elementos relevantes que se observam neste Movimento, a partir das contribuições de teóricos contemporâneos que refletem sobre o fenômeno religioso, buscaremos apresentar esta experiência como um espaço significativo da vivência religiosa dentro da cultura pós-moderna. Se a secularização e pluralismo religioso conferem indicações sobre o comportamento religioso na Modernidade, as características do Encontro para a Nova Consciência, marcados pela subjetividade que confere identidades flutuantes, permitem-nos apreciar indícios de uma religiosidade que se configura na Pós-modernidade
The Convention for New Conscience occurs, during carnival period, in Campina Grande City (Paraíba - Brazil Northeast), since 1992, having become an attractive and intriguing event field, event that cannot be, currently, seen, found, easely, anywhere in the world. As we can observe this religious experience remarkable particularities, in such a great diversity, we are, therefore, enable to characterize it i.e. the abovementioned event as a kind, a sort of postmodern religious phenomenon. Studying the outstanding elements that are observed in this Movement, departing from the contemporaneous theorical contributions that reflect on the religious phenomenon, we will seek to present this experience as a religious liveliness meaningful space, within postmodern culture. If secularization and religious pluralism bestow some indications upon religious comportment in Modernity, the Convention for New Conscience characteristics, marked by the subjectivity that brings forth floating identities, they the event characteristics allow us evaluating a certain religiosity signs that take a plain shape in Post-modernity

Abstract (sommario):

Denna uppsats problematiserar Kriminalvårdens ideologiska utveckling genom att analysera interna och externa styrdokument från tre tidsperioder: 1923, 1963-1968 och 2008-2020. Uppsatsen undersöker hur den kristna diskursen och den kristna praktiken inom Kriminalvårdens verksamhet successivt har ersatts som en del av samhällets övergripande rationaliseringstendenser. Inspirerade av Foucault, genomförs en analys av kriminalvårdens diskursiva utveckling utifrån ett historiserande perspektiv. Uppsatsens primära frågeställning utgår från teoretiker som Kate Soper, Michel Foucault och Jürgen Habermas och argumenterar för humanismen som en rättfärdigande ideologi och synliggör dess konnotationer till behaviorismen. Syftet är att förstå denna typ av förändring, och hur rationaliseringstendenser kan synas i dessa förändringar. Uppsatsen mynnar ut i en förståelse av kristendomens avtagande roll till fördel för humanvetenskapens praktikers framväxt.

Abstract (sommario):

This thesis aims to contribute to the ongoing critical discussion within the sociology of religion by focusing on the seldom considered perspective of methodology. As such, it consists of a theoretical part that problematizes the ways in which religion has been analyzed, and an empirical part that develops how religiosity can be approached in sociological studies. The thesis seeks, in other words, to contribute to how sociologists analyze religion, and addresses a research problem that has gained new relevance in the aftermath of criticism of the secularization paradigm. In the theoretical part, the assumptions underlying the ways in which religion is studied are revisited, as is the impact that these have had as faras the empirical study of religion is concerned in one of the countries often assumed to be secularized – i.e. Sweden. The empirical part of the thesis is comprised of three studies based on the latest European Value Survey, qualitative interviews and the Blogosphere on religion-related content (n=220000 blog posts). The results from these studies are used to reconsider the religiousmainstream, the “package”-like assumptions often made about affiliation, belief and practice, as well as the fact that the study of religiosity tends to be relegated to the periphery of the imagination of sociologists of religion. The thesis proposes that if we want to study religion in a lay people sensitive way we cannot continue to overlook their understandings of the sacred, the ways in which they regard their own religiosity, and the fact that their affiliation,belief and practice do not necessarily fit the expectations of established ways of analyzing religion.

Abstract (sommario):

In this study, the Babylonian Exile of the Jews is approached from the perspective of a sociological analysis of more recent historical cases of mass deportation and refugee behaviour. After this survey, four behaviour patterns are isolated that function as 'Mechanisms for Survival' for minorities in crisis and under domination in a foreign environment. These 'Mechanisms' include 1) Structural adaptation, 2) The rise of, and conflict between, new leaders. 35 new Folklore patterns, especially 'Hero' stories, and 4) adoption or elaboration of ritual as a means of boundary maintenance and identity preservation. These four mechanisms are then illustrated from Exilic texts of the Old Testament. The rise of Elders and the changing nature of the Bet Abot is seen as structural adaptation. The conflict of Jeremiah and Hananiah, and the advice of Jeremiah in his 'letter', is seen as the conflict of new leaders in crisis. The 'Diaspora Novella' is compared to Messianic expectation and especially to Suffering Servant to show how folklore can reflect social conditions and serve a function as 'hero stories'. Finally, the latest redactional layers of 'P' reveal concern for purity and separation that expressed itself in social isolationism and boundary maintenance, particularly in the dissolution of marriages with foreign wives. There is also a section on social conflict after the restoration, as a measure of the independent development of exilic social ideology and theology. The conclusion is that sociological analysis of the Exilic material reveals the exilic-post-exilic community exhibiting features of a minority group under stress, and the creative means by which that group responds by Mechanisms for Survival.

Abstract (sommario):

Syftet med detta arbete är att göra en omdefinition av begreppet sekt som utgår ifrån vad sekten fyller för funktion hos individen, samt att studera om denna nya definition erbjuder plats till storseansen. Studien bygger dels på en kvalitativ intervjustudie med sex respondenter, två observationer som genomförda i vid olika tillfällen samt skrivna vittnesmål från sexton avhoppade sektmedlemmar. Denna studie är ett försök att belysa sektbegreppet utifrån vad sekten erbjuder individen, därför är sekten som organisation endast beskrivet kort och ingen större diskussion angående olika sektformer förekommer. Det nya sektbegreppet grundar sig dels i vittnesmål från avhoppade sektmedlemmar och dels i etablerade sociologiska begrepp som berör individer och det moderna samhället.

Resultatet visar tydligt att begrepp som gemenskap, individuallitet, erkännanden och tillhörighet är av största vikt för individer som gått med i sekter och försvagad ontologisk trygghet verkar vara avgörande för hur individen reagerar när denna kommer i kontakt med en sekt.

Arbetet visar även att det finns stora likheter i vad sekten erbjuder individen och vad storseansen erbjuder individen, men viktigt är att poängtera att det även finns stora skillnader och det är inte helt problemfritt att likställa dessa två fenomen.

Abstract (sommario):

Most people experience Sweden as a secular country, which could cause problems for Christian adolescents at school. The secular society has become the new normal for many people which results in Christian adolescents often having to defend themselves and their beliefs at school when questioned by their non-Christian peers. We interviewed seven people who wanted to share their experiences from their adolescence. The purpose of the study is to examine how Christian adolescents experience attendance at a non-religious school in a secular country. The theoretical framework from which the analysis is drawn upon is the theory of Socialisation Process by Peter Berger and Thomas Luckmann and the concept of Stigma by Erving Goffman. The results demonstrate there is vulnerability in being a Christian at school in a secular country. Some participants reported that they might be less active in the church during their adolescence. They also reported an unwillingness to discuss their faith with non-Christians when questioned. Several of the respondents describe a qualitative difference between the friends who shared their beliefs and the friends who didn´t. To a large extent the friendship between those who have shared beliefs remains to this day.

Abstract (sommario):

This dissertation explores the factors associated with religious switching among Latinos in Chicago churches. In the last few decades, some scholars have suggested that there is a growing trend among Latinos away from Catholicism and toward conservative Protestantism. Drawing on insights from previous literature on religious conversion more broadly, and from literature on ethnic and immigrant congregations, I examine the possibility that the way a church meets the various needs of congregants is associated with religious switching. More specifically, I explore whether having one's social, spiritual, and material needs met through one's congregation is associated with switching from participation in a Catholic church to participation in a Protestant church. To explore these potential associations, I use data from the Chicago Latino Congregations Study (CLCS), a multilevel study of predominantly Latino congregations in Chicago and the churchgoers who attend them. Using multilevel modeling, I examine both individual congregant-level factors and congregation-level factors, including characteristics of church leaders, and their association with religious switching. The results of this analysis suggest the importance of examining whether or not congregations have formalized ways of incorporating new members into the church, and whether or not the church leader is directly involved with helping congregants meet material needs such as finding a job. Also, results demonstrate that these two factors are more commonly found in evangelical and Pentecostal Protestant churches in Chicago than in Catholic churches. I propose that when congregations employ methods of reaching out to potential new members in personal, individualized ways—such as a church leader directly helping a potential new member with finding a job—affective ties are established and nurtured, setting the ground work for religious switching.

The religious endogamy is a social institution historically well established in the Presbyterian tradition. However, an important part of church members get involved emotionally, dating and marrying people outside of approved religious group. This study researched how was the spread, maintenance and social legitimacy of endogamy concept in the Brazilian Presbyterianism, since the missionary Presbyterianism introduction in the country, trying to understand how religious endogamy has been justified in brazilians social and religious plurality. This study is specially importante nowadays, qhen some people believe that religious institutions legitimacy determine behavior patterns is getting out of use. Comparative studies on endogamy among immigrant populations, the history of endogamous precept in Christianity, the analysis of biblical texts that underlie endogamy and a field survey among attendees at a Presbyterian community on São Paulo, Brazil, contributed to the understanding of the issue from the point of view of the institution and from the perspective of its faithful ones.
A endogamia religiosa é uma instituição social bem estabelecida historicamente na tradição presbiteriana. Entretanto, uma parcela importante dos adeptos da igreja se envolve afetivamente, namora e se casa com pessoas de fora do grupo religioso aprovado. A pesquisa averiguou como se deu a difusão, legitimação e manutenção social do conceito de endogamia no presbiterianismo brasileiro, desde o período da implantação do presbiterianismo de missão no país, procurando compreender como a endogamia religiosa tem se justificado em meio à pluralidade social e religiosa brasileira, especialmente na contemporaneidade em que se aponta um enfraquecimento da legitimidade das instituições religiosas para determinar o padrão de conduta e pensamento de seus fiéis. A comparação com estudos sobre endogamia entre populações imigrantes, a história do preceito endogâmico no Cristianismo, a análise dos textos bíblicos que fundamentam a endogamia e uma pesquisa de campo entre os frequentadores de uma comunidade presbiteriana paulistana contribuíram para a compreensão da questão tanto do ponto de vista da instituição quanto da perspectiva dos seus fiéis.

Abstract (sommario):

Den här studien syftar till att undersöka associationer till de religiösa identiteterna kristen, sekulär och muslim. Associationerna hämtas från 2 150 enkätsvar, där respondenterna har uppmanats ange det första de kommer att tänka på när de hör orden kristen, sekulär och muslim. Sentimentanalys används för att undersöka om det finns skillnader i hur positiva och negativa känslouttryck förekommer i associationerna. Innehållsanalys används för att undersöka om det finns skillnader i vad respondenterna associerar till. Studien vilar på två teoretiska ramverk: Granovetters teori om svaga och starka band i sociala nätverk samt Tajfels sociala identitetsteori. Teorierna används för att ytterligare belysa analyserna genom att sätta uppmätta skillnader i sentiment och innehåll i relation till respondenternas egna identiteter och egna sociala nätverk. Studien visar att de negativaste associationerna är kopplade till den muslimska identiteten och att respondenterna generellt sett är positivare till identiteter som de själva identifierar sig med. Vidare visar studien att respondenter som har en muslimsk person i sina sociala nätverk associerar positivare till både sekulära och muslimer, jämfört med respondenter vars sociala nätverk inte består av några muslimska relationer. Respondenter som har muslimer i sina sociala nätverk tycks också ha bättre kunskap kring den sekulära identiteten. Studiens fynd går i linje med båda de teoretiska ramverken, vilket behandlas vidare i det avslutande diskussionskapitlet. Där diskuteras även bland annat praktiska tillämpningar och vidare forskning.

Abstract (sommario):

This dissertation seeks to evaluate and reformulate the sociology of religion through an integration of the work of Carl G. Jung and others. The purpose of such a reformulation is to develop a "new" theoretical framework within which to describe and explain individual and collective level religious and spiritual experience in our contemporary postmodern social landscape. Current theoretical frameworks for the sociology of religion have failed to provide an adequate lens through which to view religious experience and have failed to provide an understanding of the differences between religion and spirituality. The modernist framework which reduces religious and spiritual phenomena to mere numbers lacks the depth necessary to view such a multifaceted and varied grouping of social experience. The postmodern alternative, as well, has multiple problems in terms of application particularly if one accepts the postmodern argument that there is no truth. Following a postmodernist trajectory where there is no truth, one must question whether or not the sociological study of religion is relevant at all. Presented here is an integrative model which challenges Kantian assumptions about the nature of religion. The relationship between the concepts of religion and spirituality has long baffled the social sciences. Here spirituality is characterized, in a truly Jungian manner, as an archetypal drive shared by all of humanity. Religion, on the other hand, is best thought of as individual and collective representations of an often unconscious search for a soul. This sort of conceptualization proves fuller than those currently offered. A discussion of religious and spiritual options associated with our contemporary American landscape provides evidence of the applicability of the framework presented here.

Abstract (sommario):

The aim of this study is to situate the locus of the Swedish branch of freemasonry, Svenska Frimurare Orden, in the contemporary religious landscape. The research questions are as follows: On what grounds can the Swedish branch of freemasonry be considered religious? If the Swedish branch of freemasonry is considered religious, how does it fit into the contemporary society among the plethora of new religious movements? In regard to the first question, a definition of religion is required, thus Bruce Lincoln’s theory with four domains of religion is used to decide to what extent the Swedish branch of freemasonry can be described as a religion or a religious movement. To be able to answer the second research question the four sociological narratives as presented by Meredith B. McGuire are used to analyze the results of our study. The results are reached through examination of the common laws of the Swedish branch of freemasonry and the data found on their official website, combined with hermeneutic interpretation. Our conclusion is that the Swedish branch of freemasonry through its explicit connection to Christianity, in addition to its esoteric and occult practices both fits into a historical continuity regarding religion in Sweden, as well as with contemporary societal currents regarding new religious movements.

Abstract (sommario):

Pretendeu-se analisar o processo de formação da heterogeneidade formal do campo religioso brasileiro tomando por objeto empírico o desenvolvimento de parte da produção intelectual religiosa durante as últimas décadas do século XIX. Examinando sociologicamente a emergência do espiritismo religioso, almejou-se entender e explicitar em sua lógica própria o processo de constituição de um mercado competitivo de bens de salvação caracterizado pela perda do monopólio religioso da igreja católica e pela ascensão da legitimidade institucional das outras religiões. Relacionando a idéia weberiana de racionalização das esferas de valor no caso a religiosa e as noções de trabalho e de divisão do trabalho religioso de Pierre Bourdieu, propôs-se uma análise das lutas dos grupos de agentes cujos interesses materiais e simbólicos tornam o campo religioso um terreno de operação para as lutas entre diferentes empresas de salvação.
This work aims to analyze the formation of the pluralism in Brazilian religious field. Its empirical object is the development process of part of the intellectual production on Religion during the last decades of the 19th century. A sociological examination of the emergency of the religious Spiritism was made in order to explain, through its own logic, the constitution process of a competitive goods salvation market. This research shows that this market is characterized by the loss of the religious monopoly from the Catholic Church and by the rising of the institutional legitimacy from other religions. By relating the Weberian idea of rationalization of the value spheres in this case, the religious one to the concepts of religious work and division of the religious work from Pierre Bourdieu, this research proposes an analysis of the struggles among the groups of agents whose material and symbolic interests have made the religious field become a field of operation for the struggles between different salvation companies

Abstract (sommario):

Set in a small minority community in South Africa, the Orthodox Jewish com-munity in Johannesburg, this study explores why a person would actively and volun-tarily seek minority status by converting into an ethnic-religious minority group. Taking a social constructionist approach to understanding religious conversion, it is argued that religious conversion to Orthodox Judaism is also a social process of becoming ethnically "Jewish". In this study, two types of converts are considered, namely con-verts who come to Judaism through marriage and converts for religious purposes. Through in-depth-interviews with rabbis and converts, experiences of social inclusion and exclusion, and the meaning of conversions is understood. This study finds that regardless of the path to conversion, belonging and identity are key reasons for con-version, and that it is an ethnic process that serves group and individual needs recip-rocally. At an individual level, becoming Jewish through conversion helps avoid social exclusion and achieves other social inclusions by acquiring membership in new com-munities and by forming new social identities. At a group level, the research shows that religious conversion is part of the group's broader concern for maintaining ethnic boundaries and is therefore an element of the politics of belonging. The research shows how conversion to a minority ethnic group in a plural environment becomes a social means to protect ethnic identity and avoid assimilation. By understanding con-version as the politics of belonging, the research explores the subjective experiences of citizenship at a group and individual level.

Abstract (sommario):

O presente trabalho tem como objetivo compreender de que forma o pastor fundador de uma igreja na Baixada Fluminense, Rio de Janeiro, tem conseguido através de sua liderança carismática construir e manter um sistema de distribuição, redistribuição e manipulação de bens simbólicos entre seus seguidores. Observa-se essa dinâmica entre o poder, carisma e reconhecimento, tanto dentro da congregação: nas relações o pastor fundador da igreja e os demais pastores, presbíteros e membros, como fora dela: na medida em que essa igreja, que se identifica como Assembléia de Deus, não participa de nenhuma convenção ou órgãos referenciais dessa denominação. Sugere-se que, apesar de se pretender um tipo de Assembléia de Deus, essa igreja assume um ethos neopentecostal de igrejas autônomas, podendo ser identificada na terminologia nativa como uma Assembléia de Deus Renovada. Para alcançar os objetivos propostos, foi realizado um estudo de campo, com entrevistas e observação participante, e também um pequeno survey.
The research has aimed to understand how a Neopentecostal pastor, founder of a church located at Baixada Fluminense, Rio de Janeiro, is able to build and keep a system of distribution, redistribution and manipulation of symbolic goods among his followers, through his charismatic leadership. This study tries to show the power dynamics between charisma and leader recognition inside the church, among the founder and the other pastors, presbyteries and members, and also outside of it, when this church self defined as an Assembly of God has no part of any convention of this denomination. We suggest that, despite defined as a kind of Assembly of God, this church assumes a Neopentecostal ethos of autonomous churches, and can be identified, using a native terminology, as Renewed Assembly of God. To reach the proposed aims, we carried out a field research with participant observation, interviews, and also a small survey.

Horne, Emily A. "Sexual Education across the United States: Are we doing it right?" Scholarship @ Claremont, 2015. http://scholarship.claremont.edu/scripps_theses/676.

Abstract (sommario):

Since the early 20th century, students across the United States have been learning sexual education in public classrooms. Although American society has made many advancements and social changes since then, the curriculum of sexual education has remained stagnant. It continues to stress the concept of “social hygiene,” promoting white, heterosexual norms while demoralizing adolescent sexuality (McCarty-Caplan 2013). Since the 1980’s, the federal government has created three federally funded programs to promote abstinence-only sexual education. Although there are no federal laws or policies that dictate states or districts must provide sexual education, the programs have pressured the boards and districts to teach what the federal government is promoting. Most importantly, these ideologies are being pushed on to the government by the Religious Right. This study examines the attitudes towards sexual education and the attitudes towards topics that are associated with the curriculum. The findings imply that religion and political identification play the largest role in influencing these attitudes, which explains the current state of sexual education.

Abstract (sommario):

The aim of this study is to seek increased sociological understanding of modern spirituality through an investigation of the spiritual teachings of the danish mystic Martinus and its followers. Seven interviews with followers of Martinus were conducted and analysed using qualitative content analysis. The analyze shows that the teachings of Martinus has resulted in a new life which can be understood in terms of its benefits and pleasures; the benefits being a sense of meaning, security and belonging and the pleasures being a sense of excitement, beauty and joy. Based on these results the study indicates that an aesthetic perspective can complement the more common instrumental perspective on spirituality to offer a more authentic and comprehensive understanding of why modern people becomes spiritual. The study ends with a final discussion on whether modern spirituality even can be sociologically understood and what this understanding would entail. Here I argue that genuine agnosticism is incompatible with the naturalistic premise of sociology and that the sociologist only can understand modern spirituality based on this premise, thus undermining the same spirituality that he or she wishes to understand.

Abstract (sommario):

Extensive literature in the social and medical sciences link religiosity to positive health outcomes. Conversely it is often assumed that secularity carries negative consequences for health; however, recent research outlining different types of secular individuals complicates this assumption. Using a national sample of American adults, we compare physical and mental health outcomes for atheists, agnostics, religiously nonaffiliated theists, and theistic members of organized religious traditions. Results indicate better physical health outcomes for atheists compared to other secular individuals and members of some religious traditions. Atheists also reported significantly lower levels of psychiatric symptoms (anxiety, paranoia, obsession, and compulsion) compared to both other seculars and members of most religious traditions. In contrast, physical and mental health were significantly worse for nonaffiliated theists compared to other seculars and religious affiliates on most outcomes. These findings highlight the necessity of distinguishing among different types of secular individuals in future research on health.

Abstract (sommario):

Denna uppsats syftar till att undersöka om graden av judisk religiositet påverkar hälsan. Religiositet definieras i tre dimensioner; beteende, attityd och tro som tillsammans skiljer en religion från en annan. Hälsa definieras med hjälp av World Health Organisation, WHO, som 1948 menade att hälsa är psykiskt och socialt välbefinnande och inte blott frånvaro av sjukdom och handikapp". "ett tillstånd av fullständigt fysiskt,

Studier har visat att ett stort religiöst engagemang har ett måttligt samband med bättre hälsa där religion erbjuder ett litet, men betydande skydd. Vissa forskare menar dock att religion har en negativ påverkan på hälsan, i och med en ökad risk för olika typer av psykiska problem. Utgångspunkten för denna studie är Folkhälsoinstitutets nationella folkhälsoenkät som syftar till att beskriva den svenska befolkningsgruppens hälsoläge. Urvalet består av Sveriges judiska minoritetsgrupp, 16 – 84 år, som är medlemmar i antingen Stockholm, Göteborg eller Malmö Judiska församling. Tilläggsfrågor inkluderades om det specifikt judiska. Totalt skickades 1272 enkäter ut och med en svarsfrekvens på 34,8 % och ett totalt bortfall på 65,2 %. Resultaten redovisades och analyserades med ett antal logistiska regressioner där de tre beroende variablerna mätte det allmänna hälsotillståndet, den psykiska samt den kroppsliga hälsan vilka testades mot samtliga oberoende variabler. Studien kan inte bekräfta hypotesen att graden av judisk religiositet har någon oberoende påverkan på hälsan. Istället tar ålder över effekten på hälsa vilket kan tyda på att medelåldern är högre för människor med en starkare religiositet. Det kan därför konstateras att religion inte är en viktig faktor för en god hälsa, åtminstone inte bland judiska församlingsmedlemmar i svenska storstäder.

Abstract (sommario):

Robert Bellah introduced the concept of American civil religion more than thirty year ago. While interest has waxed and waned over time, there has been an increase in the level of attention paid to civil religion in the United States since the beginning of the 21st Century. Much of this interest has been rhetorical however, and very little actual research has taken place. This study examines the relationship between the civil religious beliefs of the American public and the public?s perception of the presidency. Randomly selected subjects from stratified samples in Raleigh, North Carolina were collected during two separate, yet similar, studies in 1984 and 1998. Data from then 1984 Reagan-Mondale presidential contest are used to examine presidential electoral preference for candidates who are seen as more civil religious. It is contended that the candidate who is seen as more civil religious will have an electoral advantage. Further data collected during the fall of 1998 are used to look at the relationship between civil religious beliefs and feelings of outrage or betrayal at the perceived actions of President Clinton leading to his impeachment trial are explored. In this case it is contended that the stronger a member of the public?s feelings of civil religiosity, the greater their feelings of outrage. It would appear from the results of these studies that the lens of civil religion is used by the public in their perception of the presidency. It would also appear that the traditional view of American civil religion has changed since Bellah?s original thesis. The implications of these findings, in terms of theory methodology and policy are discussed.

Capitalism, nowadays, promotes a global world and a homogenized culture to obtain more profit. It changes the conditions of thousand people lifes and works to reach its objectives. Such process is also happening in Goiânia, what can be noticed by the increase of unemployment, while some commercial and industrial jobs get extinct. So, the recent unemployed person finds himself / herself in a world without structure and he / she cannot find answers in the tradicional sence producer instituions. Some of these recent unemployed people are the group of the researched open marketing workers . When they search explanations for the shaking of their financial and faith situations, they discover, in the symbolic wealth market , religions that promess them solutions. They do not transit uncomfortably, they become walkers among these systems. They make their choices, in a subjective and individualized way, for a model that fits in his interests. Even though there are few exceptions, they question the sense system , but not their faith in God. They still fear Him, keeping with them the historical sense strengh the open marketing workers need so much, even in the day-by-day precariousness.
O capitalismo promove, hoje, um mundo global e uma cultura homogeneizada para obter mais lucro. Para tanto, transforma as condições de vida e de trabalho de milhares de pessoas. Tal processo também acontece em Goiânia, observável pelo crescimento do desemprego, na medida em que são fechados postos de trabalho no comércio e na indústria. O dispensado vê-se, então, às voltas com um mundo desestruturado e não encontra respostas explicativas nas instituições tradicionais produtoras de sentido. Um segmento desses dispensados compõe o grupo de feirantes ora pesquisados. Estes ao buscar explicações para suas situações financeiras e de fé abalada, encontra no mercado de bens simbólicos religiões que lhe prometem soluções. Transitam sem constrangimento, tornam-se andarilhos entre esses sistemas. Fazem sua escolha, de forma subjetiva e individualizada, por um modelo que se encaixe em seus interesses. Com raras exceções, o que põem em cheque são os sistemas de sentido, não a sua fé em Deus. Mesmo na precariedade do dia a dia, o temor a Deus permanece, mantendo consigo a histórica força de sentido que o feirante tanto necessita.

Resumo: Esse trabalho tem como objetivo comparar Durkheim e Weber, os quais representam figuras emblemáticas nos estudos das sociedades ocidentais modernas, na tentativa de aproximar suas teorias sociológicas à religião. Procuramos destacar, a partir dos estudos epistemológicos e metodológicos deles, alguns elementos que podem nos levar a destacar pontos convergentes e divergentes, tentando explorá-los para ressaltar certa aproximação. Para tanto, no primeiro capítulo expomos uma comparação entre religião e magia, levando em conta noções como sacrifício, culto e rito. Essa comparação tem como objetivo mostrar, de um lado, que em Durkheim ambas são fenômenos sociais e que, por outro lado, em Weber a religião se revela mais racional do que a magia, considerada como uma atividade irracional. Portanto, esse capítulo seria uma articulação em torno da natureza social e racional da religião em relação à natureza social e irracional da magia. Já no segundo capítulo buscamos entender melhor, segundo as concepções durkheimiana e weberiana, o sentido da relação que o indivíduo mantém com os seres espirituais objetos de culto, como Alma, Deus e Espírito, para então delimitar o papel desempenhado pelo sagrado na socialização. Por fim, no terceiro capítulo retomamos o debate, ao mesmo tempo velho e atual, sobre as relações complexas entre religião e política. Nesse sentido, mostramos como em Durkheim o caráter indiferenciado desses dois elementos se incorpora e se funde no conceito de religião civil, enquanto em Weber sua diferenciação mais ou menos radical nos leva à sua sociologia da dominação. Com isso buscamos analisar até que ponto a religião e a política podem se influenciar e interagir reciprocamente, mesmo quando elas se opõem. Dessa forma, esse estudo comparativo trata de alguns temas comuns a Durkheim e Weber, mas essencialmente importantes para a sociologia da religião
Abstract: This work, pursuing a very ambitious goal to compare Durkheim and Weber, try to reconcile the two theories of the sociology of religion as they represent the leading figures in the advent of modern Western societies. It seeks to highlight, starting from their epistemological and methodological studies, elements that show us what is convergent and divergent, while trying to exploit them to find an approximation. In order to develop this idea, in the first chapter there is a comparison between religion and magic, taking into account concepts such as sacrifice, worship and ritual. The objective of this comparison is, on one hand, to show that both in Durkheim are a social phenomenon, and, on the other hand, in Weber religion is more rational than the magic considered as an irrational activity. So, this chapter is a joint around the social and rational nature of religion in relation to social and irrational nature of magic. The second seeks to understand better, according to Durkheim and Weber's designs, the meaning of the relationship the individual has with the spiritual beings objects of worship, such as Soul, God and Spirit, as well as to determine the role played by the sacred in the socialization. Finally, the third chapter resumes the debate, in the same time old and current, on the complex relationship between religion and politics. By comparing, we will try to emphasize, first in Durkheim, their indiscriminate nature that incorporates and merges the concept of civil religion, then in Weber, their differentiation more or less radical which is rooted in its sociology of domination. In this sense, we will see through these two leading sociologists extent how religion and politics can influence each other and interact, even if they disagree. Thus, this comparative study discusses some common themes between Durkheim and Weber, which are essentially important for the sociology of religion

Abstract (sommario):

Denna uppsats försöker besvara om det finns ett samband mellan religiösa normer kring kön och amerikanskt bistånd. Den önskar även lyfta fram den problematik detta kan innebära samt hur detta påverkar kvinnor i Afrika söder om Saharas möjlighet till en minskad risk för HIV samt ett liv bort från fattigdom.

Det problem som uppsatsen önskar lyfta fram är att då religion får makt i samhället kan den påverka politik, vilket kan i få stora konsekvenser. Den söker även klarlägga hur denna politik, framförallt i förhållande till kvinnor, hindrar dessa från utveckling.

Genom jämförande litteraturstudier med material från internationella organisationer såväl som från det amerikanska biståndsorganet, forskare och samhällsdebattörer försöker detta klargöras. Diskussionen leder slutligen till en slutsats att den kristna religionens normer kring kön och sexualitet spelar roll och påverkar det amerikanska biståndsarbetet med att bekämpa fattigdom och spridningen av HIV/AIDS i Afrika söder om Sahara. Den kristna tron får makt över dessa aspekter, vilket bidrar till att kvinnokroppen blir politisk, genom den makt som religion kan legitimera. De religiösa ledarna och de som lobbar för att påverka amerikansk biståndspolitik har till sist en viktig roll i spridningen av sjukdomen i Afrika då deras ovilja att uppmuntra till ett användande av preventivmedel, gör att medlen för att stoppa sjukdomen inte når de drabbade afrikanska samhällena. Det innebär dessutom att kvinnor inte tillgodoses med självbestämmande, makt över sin egen kropp och familjeplanering, vilket ytterligare hindrar fattigdomsbekämpningen. Implikationerna av denna slutsats blir avslutningsvis att en förändring av synen på kvinnokroppen och preventivmedel inom kristen etik, vilken under lång tid talat om och arbetar för fattigdomsbekämpning, skulle kunna öka möjligheterna för minskad fattigdom i Afrika söder om Sahara där det finns en stark koppling mellan fattigdom och HIV/AIDS.

Abstract (sommario):

Lietuvos Respublikos teisės aktai užtikrina visas asmens teises, susijusias su tikėjimo ir įsitikinimų laisve, laisvę išpažinti ir skleisti savo tikėjimą, laisvai privačiai ir viešai jį praktikuoti ir iš jo mokyti. Lietuvos Respublikos Konstitucijos 25 straipsnio 1 dalyje deklaruojama asmens teisė turėti įsitikinimus, laisvai juos reikšti, ieškoti ir skleisti informaciją. 26 straipsnio 1 dalis deklaruoja, kad konkreti „minties, tikėjimo ir sąžinės laisvė yra nevaržoma“. Šio straipsnio 2 dalyje teigiama, kad ,,kiekvienas žmogus turi teisę laisvai pasirinkti bet kurią religiją arba tikėjimą ir vienas ar su kitais, privačiai ar viešai ją išpažinti, atlikinėti religines apeigas, praktikuoti tikėjimą ir mokyti jo“. Trečiojoje dalyje pabrėžiama, kad „niekas negali kito asmens versti nei būti verčiamas pasirinkti ar išpažinti kurią nors religiją arba tikėjimą“. Šio straipsnio 5 dalyje įtvirtinta nuostata, kad „tėvai ir globėjai nevaržomi rūpinasi vaikų ir globotinių religiniu ir doroviniu auklėjimu pagal savo įsitikinimus“. Lietuvoje nėra valstybinės religijos. Šis principas įtvirtintas Konstitucijos 43 straipsnio 7 dalyje ir reiškia, jog religijos tradiciškumas netapatintinas su jos valstybiškumu: religinės organizacijos nesikiša į valstybės, jos institucijų ir pareigūnų veiklą, neformuoja valstybinės politikos, valstybė nesikiša į bažnyčių bei religinių organizacijų vidaus reikalus; jos laisvai tvarkosi pagal savo kanonus ir statutus. Konstitucijos 43 straipsnio 1 dalies... [toliau žr. visą tekstą]
After regain of independence Lithuania in religion range made big progress. The Constitution Republic of Lithuania embodies equality for all persons before the law (courts, public institutions and officers). In addition, every citizen belonging to any ethnic or national group has a right to foster his/her culture, customs and mother tongue and everyone has a right to choose and follow any religion or belief. There is no state religion in Lithuania. The Constitution of Lithuania states that freedom of speech and expression is incompatible with criminal behavior, such as instigation of racial, religious or social hatred, violence or discrimination, or the dissemination of slander or misinformation. Since 2005 the Law on Equal Opportunities forbids any direct or indirect discrimination on the basis of racial or ethnic origin, religion or beliefs and other grounds. The Criminal Code of Lithuania guarantees prosecution for discrimination on the basis of racial or ethnic origin, religion, nationality or belonging to any other group. Administrative sanctions for production, distribution or demonstration of any articles that stimulate national, racial or religious discord are embodied in the Lithuanian Code of Administrative Law Violations. Although human rights are protected by the Constitution, national laws and international legal instruments, it is more important that the practical realization and protection of the rights mentioned previously is ensured. Problems that still... [to full text]

Abstract (sommario):

Narratives of conflict regarding the connections between science and religion receive considerable attention in multiple forums of public discourse. These discussions tend to focus on philosophical, abstract, and/or polemical, rather than empirical issues. Data from a 2007 national survey indicate that a relatively small proportion of American adults perceive incompatibility between science and religion. Those who do are divided evenly into groups privileging science and privileging religion. These groups are markedly different with regard to sociodemographic and religious characteristics. Overall, I advocate a theoretical perspective on “science and religion” that is culturally constructionist, but methodologically empiricist.

Morgan, Greg. "Attitudes Concerning Euthanasia Among Protestant Denominations". TopSCHOLAR®, 1999. http://digitalcommons.wku.edu/theses/734.

Testo completo

Abstract (sommario):

The purpose of this research was to uncover differences in attitudes among Protestant denominations concerning euthanasia. Variations in attitudes were viewed using social theories of religion by Emile Dukheim, Max Weber, Charles Glock, and Rodney Stark. These theories were used to establish a basis for variation among the Protestant denominations on social issues. A questionnaire was given to four Protestant Churches in a mid-sized city in Kentucky during the Spring of 1999. The sample of 134 respondents represented six different Protestant denominations. Logistic regression and factor analysis were used to analyze the data. Results suggest that pro-euthanasia attitudes are positively correlated to educational attainment, experience with a dying friend, and association with liberal denominations. The results also suggest that pro-euthanasia attitudes are negatively correlated with religiosity and political conservativism.

Abstract (sommario):

This study examines the relationship between religious affiliation and racially discriminatory attitudes. Several investigations have been conducted on the topic, yet they did not choose national representative samples. My research examines four decades of NORC General Social Surveys to analyze how religious affiliation and attendance affect the outcome of a survey question which tests the level of discriminatory attitudes among respondents.

Abstract (sommario):

The tensions which had over hundreds of years built up in the Roman Catholic Church produced the first Reformation. In England the new Anglican Church could not hold together all its elements, and the Great Ejection of 1662 saw the real beginning of separate denominations. Today another realignment is taking place. In an environment of indifference to churchgoing the Churches must respond. But they are divided within. Some elements desire to convert the world, others wish to defend the Church from it, a number want to absorb the world and others wish to combine these approaches. The differences relate to viewpoints about belief and authority. Historical techniques, scientific knowledge and philosophical models have affected the understanding of the Church, the Bible and models of belief. The result is that liberalism, once outside subscribing denominations, has returned to them. This has created further strains with those of biblical and Church beliefs and authority views. A new holiness movement is sweeping the Churches. A revivalist spirit calling on interpreted individual experience is spreading across Catholic and Protestant structures. This has created both new unity and divisions. Behind the desires for ecumenism, the result within denominations is renewed tension between 'independency' and the 'broad Church'. New denominationalism, the realignment of belief and authority patterns, threatens to become a New Reformation, a structural change resulting from alliances and schism.

Abstract (sommario):

Actualmente, Puerto Rico está atravesando la transición demográfica, lo que provoca que la población envejecida esté aumentando. Este reto es debido a la reducción en las tasas de natalidad, las altas tasas de migración, las tasas de mortalidad; el mismo tiene diversas implicaciones sociales. La religión, como elemento pro-social, sirve como herramienta para lidiar con los diversos desafíos que atraviesan los adultos mayores; demostrando una influencia positiva en la vida y en la salud de estos individuos. No obstante, la religión como factor en las investigaciones demográficas, no ha sido estudiada en Puerto Rico.

Por consiguiente, existe una necesidad de proveer información sobre las características sociodemográficas de las personas de 60 años o más por grupo religioso, sus características religiosas, sus redes de apoyo y su estado de salud, ya que estas variables influyen en la vida del envejecido. Se utilizó un estudio descriptivo, trabajando con la base de datos “Condiciones de Salud de los Adultos de Edad Mayor en Puerto Rico: 2002-2003” (conocido por sus siglas en inglés, PREHCO). Los resultados y discusión de este trabajo, les proveerán a los lectores un mejor marco para estudiar la influencia de la religión en estos individuos. Además, se espera que esta investigación despierte el interés de profesionales de la salud y líderes religiosos, para así poder realizar distintos planes de acción o políticas públicas para trabajar con esta población vulnerable.
