Individuals’ Religious Beliefs and Behaviors
An individual’s religiosity is a multi-dimensional concept that consists of behaviors, experience, beliefs, and traditions. A person who believes in God may not attend religious services – are they religious? What about a person who attends services without believing in God? This module will use survey data from the Association of Religion Data Archives to explore different facets of individuals’ religiosity.
The ARDA Lesson Plans integrate content from the ARDA and other sources into teachable units. The lessons are designed for courses in a wide range of disciplines, including history, political science, psychology, religious studies, and sociology. This assignment was created for the Association of Religion Data Archives.
