Nikola Dugandžija ; Institut za društvena istraživanja, Zagreb

Abstract

Considering the effects of social stratification on religiousness in SRH, it showed that lower classes are much more religious than higher. With national belonging added to these examinations, the result didn’t change: among the Croats, the Serbs likewise among the Yugoslavs class belonging had a great influence on religiousness. The differences of religiousness of these three nations are considerable, but social belonging makes similar need of religion. This example can once more show that religion has a possibility of compensation of anxiety, stresses, and crises too, which harms everybody, but especially the members of lower classes.
