RURAL YOUTH AND RELIGION

Štefica Bahtijarević

Sažetak

The article analyzes research results on rural youth attitudes concerning
religion and church, as well as the degree of religiousness or atheism among young
people in the village.
Rural youth are not breaking off all connections with religion and church,
but religious connections have weakened. What has appeared is considerable non-
-religiousness in the form of religious indifference, rather than an active atheism.
Thus, what one sees is a broad and continuing process of secularization among
rural youth.
Additionally, this research confirms the existence of significant associations,
first, between the child-raising milieu in the family and religious attitudes and
practices among youth, and secondly, between the religiousness of youth and the
existence of a church structure (and priests) in the community.
The concluding part of the article is devoted to discovering the motivations
for religiousness, and the social range of religion.
