Između distancirane crkvenosti i intenzivne osobne religioznosti: religijske promjene u hrvatskom društvu od 1999. do 2018. godine
Between Distanced Church Religiosity and Intensive Personal Religiosity: Religious Changes in Croatian Society from 1999 to 2018

Summary/Abstract: This paper analyses religious changes in Croatian society based on the results of three waves of the European Values Study research, done in Croatia in 1999, 2008 and 2018. The paper explains changes in religiosity according to two sociological dimensions: Church religiosity and personal religiosity. The results show the continuation of a slight decline of Church religiosity, already registered by the 2008 research data, and in particular in relation to church attendance and the public role of the Church, while personal religiosity has remained relatively stable. In addition, these two dimensions of religiosity are analysed in relation to basic socio-demographic characteristics and political orientation. Women, persons with lower education, whose parents are less educated and who are from smaller settlements are more inclined to both Church and personal religiosity. Church and personal religiosity are not only connected with the right-wing political orientation, but this connection has been on the rise in the analysed period.
