“…By construction, higher values of the index imply lower religious diversity (see Table 1). Greater religious diversity may induce stronger competition for members and lead to intensified fund-raising at the level of congregations (see, e.g., Finke and Stark 1988, Zaleski and Zech 1995, Coate and Vanderhoff 2009) as well as possibly influence an area's racial composition. Albeit statistically insignificant, the coefficient on the religious diversity index in column (5) of Table 4 is negative, suggesting that total receipts ceteris paribus indeed increase with greater religious diversity.…”

Since giving to religious organizations constitutes a substantial portion of total charitable giving, an understanding of the determinants of religious giving is a vital policy concern. Drawing on a novel congregation-level panel dataset, we examine whether religious giving is driven by preferences for racial group affinity, that is, loyalty to one's own racial group. To address endogeneity concerns, we combine a fixed effects estimation framework with an instrumental variable approach. We find robust evidence consistent with the racial group affinity motive: a decrease in the percent of whites in the county is ceteris paribus associated with a decrease in the total giving receipts collected by predominantly white congregations.

“…Thus, according to the 'religious market theory', more religious diversity stimulates greater religious participation (less secularization). Breault (1989aBreault ( , 1989b and Olsen (1999) loudly criticized the 'religious market theory', and in particular the findings of Finke and Stark (1988) who claimed a positive link between pluralism and participation in the US.…”

This paper focuses on the transmission of religious norms and in particular on the 'religious taste for children'. The theoretical framework describes the setting and the process leading to secularization of the population; the simulations give more insight into the process; and 'secularization regressions' estimate the effects of the various explanatory variables on secularization (that is measured by rare mass-attendance and by rare-prayer), lending support to corollaries derived from the theory and simulations. The main conclusions/findings are that (i) direct religious socialization efforts of one generation have a negative effect on secularization within the next generation; (ii) oblique socialization by the community has a parabolic effect on secularization; and (iii) the two types of socialization are complements in 'producing' religiosity of the next generation.
