Az erdélyi magyarság vallásosságának sajátosságai
Particularity of the Hungarians religiosity from Transylvania

Summary/Abstract: Based on survey research, our study examines the religiosity of the Hungarian minority from Romania. After a short summary of sociological theories related to religious change, the religiosity of Hungarians from Transylvania, Romanians and Hungarians from Hungary are compared. In our analysis, we determine that in its public-community dimension the religiosity of Hungarians from Transylvania is higher than that of both Romanians and Hungarians from Hungary. On the other hand, the degree of acceptance of certain religious beliefs is lower than among Romanians. The generally high degree of religiosity of Hungarians from Transylvania is explained by the characteristics of their minority situation.
