Abstract

ABSTRACT With an ever-increasing global trend of secularization, understanding the nature of religious unbelief is of utmost importance. A recent study used Latent Class Analysis to identify three different groups of unbelievers in the highly secular context of Northern Europe. In the present commentary we report the outcomes of a replication study on religious unbelief in Israel. We identified two instead of three groups of unbelievers: analytic atheists and spiritual-but-not-religious participants. These groups differed in terms of their beliefs, attitudes, and certainty, as well as on a number of other socio-cognitive variables, including analytical thinking and ontological confusions. Compared to Northern Europe, unbelievers in Israel held more polarized attitudes toward religion, which might be related to the stronger public prevalence of religion in society in Israel. Our findings add to the growing literature on religious unbelief and highlight the relevance of a cross-cultural and data-driven approach for understanding unbelief.
以色列的宗教不信道:一项利用潜在阶级分析识别和描述不信道者的复制研究
摘要随着全球世俗化趋势的加剧,了解宗教信仰的本质至关重要。最近的一项研究使用潜在阶级分析来确定北欧高度世俗化背景下的三个不同的不信者群体。在本评论中,我们报告了一项关于以色列宗教不信仰的复制研究的结果。我们确定了两组而不是三组不信者:分析型无神论者和精神但非宗教参与者。这些群体在信仰、态度和确定性方面存在差异,在其他一些社会认知变量方面也存在差异,包括分析思维和本体论困惑。与北欧相比,以色列的不信教者对宗教的态度更加两极化,这可能与以色列社会中宗教的公众流行程度更高有关。我们的发现增加了越来越多的关于宗教不信的文献,并强调了跨文化和数据驱动的方法对理解不信的相关性。
