Abstract

Abstract The social sciences have often claimed the end of religiosity as one explanation for electoral behaviour in Europe. Nevertheless, left and right parties still incorporate religious and moral issues on the agenda in order to distance themselves from their opponents. This article undertakes a comparative study of 34 European democracies and examines the extent to which religious voting has diminished since the eighties. Results point to a sharp decline in the levels of religious vote until the nineties, followed by a revitalization since that time in a third of the countries included in the sample. The analysis also highlights the important role played by the political elite in activating the religious vote.

欧洲三十年的宗教选举

社会科学经常声称宗教信仰的终结是欧洲选举行为的一个解释。然而，左翼和右翼政党仍然将宗教和道德问题纳入议程，以便与对手保持距离。本文对34个欧洲民主国家进行了比较研究，并考察了自80年代以来宗教投票减少的程度。结果显示，在90年代之前，宗教投票的水平急剧下降，此后在样本中三分之一的国家中，宗教投票的水平恢复了活力。该分析还强调了政治精英在激活宗教投票方面发挥的重要作用。
