Konfesionalnost i bezkonfesionalnost u Jugoslaviji 1931-1987.
Religion and Irreligion in Yugoslavia 1931-1987

Summary/Abstract: Religion is only loosely connected with religiousness but it says something about traditions of belief and borders of cultures and civilizations. The present research has made use of data concerning the distribution of religious identification according to the census of 1931 and 1953, as well as to the data in the questionnaires of 1987. Within the period under scrutiny the presence of Catholics and of Orthodox Christians has considerably decreased, while that of Moslems has negligibly grown. Irreligiousness has become an important category although it has recently started to decrease. Although the data yielded by this research cannot be taken as a basis for reliable sociological judgments concerning religiousness on Yugoslav territory they offer valuable indications concerning the distribution and dynamics of religion.
