Abstract

This contribution studies the notion of single and multiple religious belonging in a sample of 265 Dutch respondents. We will first focus on modalities of religious belonging and subsequently compare those who claim to draw from just one religion (the monoreligious) with those who indicate that they combine elements from different religious traditions (the multireligious) in terms of their intensities and styles of belonging, loyalty and mobility, and motivations for belonging. In general, multireligious respondents are characterized by their larger flexibility in religious matters as they tend to focus on similarities and common elements in different religions, and less on boundaries between them. By being loyal to themselves in the first place, they feel free to adopt and to leave behind religious beliefs and communities. Emotional and institutional bonds for each religion appear to be less strong than for monoreligious individuals in relation to their single religion.

探索单一和多重宗教归属
这篇文章研究了265名荷兰受访者的单一和多重宗教归属的概念。我们将首先关注宗教归属的模式,然后将那些声称只来自一个宗教(单宗教)的人与那些表示他们在归属的强度和风格、忠诚和流动性以及归属动机方面结合了不同宗教传统(多宗教)元素的人进行比较。总的来说,多宗教受访者的特点是在宗教事务上有更大的灵活性,因为他们倾向于关注不同宗教的相似性和共同因素,而较少关注它们之间的界限。通过首先忠于自己,他们可以自由地接受和抛弃宗教信仰和社区。相对于单一宗教,每种宗教的情感和制度纽带似乎不如单一宗教的个人牢固。
