Abstract

Differences in race, ethnic origin, gender, belief and worldview, disability and chronic disease, age, and sexual orientation must not be a reason for discriminating against people. Non-discrimination is enshrined as a fundamental right in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, in numerous subsequent documents and in the constitutions of democratic states. Also the major religions are hostile to discriminatory distinctions. Among the groups that repeatedly experience discrimination are, on the one hand, women, who have to put up with disadvantages even in countries that advocate equality. Secondly, they include people with a homosexual orientation, who sometimes have to endure open rejection. This research uses a sample of N=5363 from 10 countries to examine the attitudes of young people about non-discrimination. Specifically, it asks whether religious belonging and the country of origin show any impact on this attitude, and whether the religiosity of respondents moderates the influence of religion and country. The empirical findings show that discrimination against women is rejected, but with differences between religious groups and countries. Homosexuality is seen more controversially and there is no uniform rejection of discrimination against homosexuals. However, depending on religious affiliation and national context, individual religiosity can have positive and negative effects on the rejection of discrimination.
禁止在工作和公共生活中歧视和不平等对待妇女和同性恋者
种族、族裔、性别、信仰和世界观、残疾和慢性病、年龄和性取向的差异绝不能成为歧视他人的理由。不歧视作为一项基本权利庄严载入《世界人权宣言》、随后的许多文件以及民主国家的宪法。此外,各大宗教都反对歧视性区别。在反复遭受歧视的群体中,一方面是妇女,即使在提倡平等的国家,她们也不得不忍受不利条件。其次,他们包括有同性恋倾向的人,他们有时不得不忍受公开拒绝。本研究使用来自10个国家的N=5363个样本来调查年轻人对不歧视的态度。具体来说,它询问宗教归属和原籍国是否对这种态度有任何影响,以及受访者的宗教虔诚度是否会缓和宗教和国家的影响。实证结果表明,对妇女的歧视是被拒绝的,但在宗教团体和国家之间存在差异。同性恋被认为更具争议性,对歧视同性恋者没有统一的反对意见。然而,根据宗教信仰和民族背景,个人的宗教信仰可以对拒绝歧视产生积极和消极的影响。
