Abstrakty

Współczesne interpretacje przemian religii i religijności w coraz większym stopniu uwzględniają fakt jej wewnętrznego zróżnicowania. Wydaje się to odzwierciedlać zarówno fakt wzrastającego zróżnicowania samych koncepcji interpretacyjnych, jak i fakt zwiększającej sięróżnorodności form współczesnych manifestacji życia religijnego.(fragment tekstu)

The data of the research project RAMP (Religious and Moral Pluralism) including representative national trials from 11 European countries in 1998 (N-12342) were used to test hypotheses on the subject of social conditions and consequences of New Age and fundamentalism. The concept of New Age has been operationalised in two forms: as a contradiction of fundamentalism (inclusive, nonliteralist, universalist religiousness and also the one which emphasises the nonpersonal and nonpunitive conception of God) and in the form of proastrological attitude which is one of the central motifs of this form of worldview. In case of fundamentalism and proastrological attitude indicators of the social condition and affluence of the society speak rather for the localisation of forms of religious orientation in the less modernised parts of the society which is confirmed by predictions of the theory of authoritarianism and predictions of the market model as for the compensative functions of these forms of religiousness. Predictions based on the theory of authoritarianism have also been confirmed in reference lo social consequences of fundamentalism and astrology the adherents to which appeared to be more punitive and inclined to religious and ethnic prejudices. New Age (understood as a contradiction of fundamentalism) and the overall religiousness on the other hand appeared to be conducive to the reluctant attitude to death sentence and tolerance of religious and ethnic minorities.
