摘要

摘要本文对欧洲25个城镇的67名非宗教千禧一代进行了采访,这是一项旨在绘制全球非宗教多样性地图的研究计划(了解Unbelief)的一部分。我们通过调查极少数(34%)受访者中超自然、迷信、魔法和超自然(PSMS)信仰的存在以及对世界内在道德结构的感知来做出贡献。与运气、命运和宇宙互联感有关的信仰分布广泛,经常使用受新时代影响的共同词汇。其他则因国家背景而异,例如罗马尼亚的民间传说和波兰的迷信。东欧的患病率高于西欧,我们讨论了可能的原因。许多受访者对将这些信念与理性主义唯物主义认知框架放在一起的不一致感表示不适或紧张。我们调查了他们是如何表达这种紧张关系的,并考虑了对这些信仰持续存在的解释,特别是从他们在许多非宗教欧洲年轻人生活中持续的社会和心理作用的角度。

Reaching for a new sense of connection: soft atheism and ‘patch and make do’ spirituality amongst nonreligious European millennials
ABSTRACT This article draws on interviews with 67 nonreligious millennials across 25 European towns and cities, part of a research programme (Understanding Unbelief) which aims to map the global diversity of nonreligion. We contribute by examining the presence of paranormal, superstitious, magical, and supernatural (PSMS) beliefs and a sense of immanent moral structure to the world among a substantial minority (34%) of our interviewees. Beliefs relating to luck, fate and a sense of cosmic interconnection are widely distributed and often use a shared New Age-influenced vocabulary. Others vary by national context, for example relating to folklore in Romania and superstition in Poland. The prevalence is higher in Eastern than in Western Europe, and we discuss possible reasons for this. Many interviewees express discomfort or tension around a sense of inconsistency in holding these beliefs alongside a rationalist-materialist cognitive framework. We investigate how they articulate this tension, and consider explanations for the persistence of these beliefs, particularly in terms of their ongoing social and psychological role in the lives of many young nonreligious Europeans.
