“…This suggests that when religious cleavages are not salient in civil societies because of their religious homogeneity, religion seem to be a silent (in the sense of a "quasi-self-evident") component of the nation. While some researchers argue that religion and nation coincide mainly in the Protestant North (e.g., Riis, 1989;Rokkan, 2000), our results suggest that this is the case independently of the denomination, including Catholic countries such as Ireland as well as Orthodox countries such as Greece or Bulgaria, where religion is an integral part of what is considered as the nation. When, however, religious cleavages become salient through heterogeneity, religion as part of the nation becomes subject to societal negotiation and the relationship is no longer clear-cut.…”

This article focuses on religion and the embeddedness in civil society. We examine the relationship between religion and national identity (ethnic and civic). Our findings show that individual religiosity continues to play an important role in sustaining both forms of national identity. In addition to other studies, we examine the relationship between religion as a societal phenomenon and individual national identity and find the following: The stronger the relationship between state and religion, the stronger the ethnic identity; the more the religious homogeneity, the stronger the ethnic identity; and there is no relationship between aggregated degree of religious organizations and identity. We conclude that religion continues to play a major role in the making of civil society, but the specific circumstances vary according to the religious representation. In other words, religion can both make and unmake national identity.

“…What consequences will the decreasing role of traditional forms of religion have on the moral climate of society? On the one hand, we could follow Riis's (1989) perception of ''Protestant humanism'' in Scandinavia: in earlier times the churches and Christian religion played a significant role in shaping the minds of the people and forming societies. These norms are now so integrated in society and internalized in people that we no longer need churches to provide a high moral standard.…”

The Moral Thinking of Three Generations in Scandinavia: What Role Does Religion Play?

The author compares religious and moral values of three generations in Scandinavia, starting from the question: is it true that young people lack moral principles and have low moral standards compared with older generations? The assumed moral decay in society is often blamed on the young generation. The empirical evidence of the RAMP survey (Religious and Moral Pluralism) does not support this hypothesis. Young people are, however, to a large extent guided by other moral principles than the older generations. While young people often stress the consequences of their moral actions, the older generations emphasize the existence of general rules about right and wrong. This indicates that the young and the older generations approach moral issues in quite different ways. Our material is taken from the RAMP survey conducted in the four Scandinavian countries from 1998 to 1999. RAMP has made it possible for researchers to study the relationships between religiosity and morality in new ways compared to the European Values Studies.L'auteur compare les valeurs religieuses et morales de trois ge´ne´rations diffe´rentes en Scandinavie. Son point de de´part est la question de savoir s'il est vrai que les jeunes manquent de principes moraux et me`nent une vie moins morale que les ge´ne´rations plus aˆge´es. Cette hypothe`se est de´mentie par la recherche empirique RAMP (Religious and Moral Pluralism) qui montre que les jeunes sont a`l'e´vidence largement guide´s par des principes moraux mais que ceux-ci sont autres que ceux des ge´ne´rations pre´ce´dentes. Tandis que les jeunes insistent souvent sur les conse´quences de leurs actions morales, les plus aˆge´s mettent davantage l'accent sur des re`gles ge´ne´rales concernant le bien et le mal. Il ressort aussi que les jeunes et les plus aˆge´s approchent les questions morales de fac¸on assez diffe´rente. Ce mate´riau est tire´de la recherche RAMP qui a e´te´re´alise´e dans les quatre pays scandinaves en 1998-1999. Elle a permis aux chercheurs de revisiter les rapports entre attitudes religieuses et attitudes morales au regard des Etudes des Valeurs Europe´ennes.

“…Protestan teologların görüşlerini inceleyen bir araştırmacı ise, modern Protestan teologların bir taraftan liberteryenleri eleştirirken diğer taraftan da gayri insani ve ruhsuz materyalizme karşı durduklarını ortaya koymuştur. Bu ikili kritiğin de, bireysel özgürlüklerle sosyal kurumların güçlerinin dengelenmesi gerektiğini ortaya koyduğu bunun da modern dinin özü olduğu savunulmuştur (Riis 1989).…”

Müslüman ülkelerdeki ekonomik çözümlemeler, sistem, politika ve kurumsallık boyutuyla batılı merkez kapitalist ülkelerin etkisinden kurtulamamaktadır. Üretim ve tüketim alışkanlıkları da kapitalist kültürün en temel öğeleri olduğundan dolayı bu yaklaşımdan nasibini almaktadır. Bu çalışmamızda İslami bakış açısıyla İslam ekonomisi kapsamında üretim ve tüketim konuları ele alınmaktadır. İddiamız, İslam'ın üretim ve tüketim ile ilgili yaklaşımının modern ekonomiye nispeten insanın huzurunu sağlama, hayatını kolaylaştırma ve ihtiyaç kaynak dengesini koruma noktasında daha tutarlı, mantıklı ve yararlı sonuçlar doğurduğudur. Buna göre, dünya hayatını merkeze alarak diğer her şeyi dünyadaki maddi kazanımlar açısından araçsallaştıran batı kapitalizmine nazaran, dünyayı geçici ve dünya hayatının üretim ve tüketimle ilgili bütün gereklerini de ebedi olan ahiret hayatını kazanmak için bir araç olarak görerek, her iki hayatı da değerleri kadar önem veren İslami yaklaşımın üstünlüğü ortaya konulmaktadır. Bu çerçevede üretim ilişkileri ve tüketim anlayışları ile uygulamalar gerçek ihtiyaçlara göre, insanları muhtaç hale düşürmeden, israf etmeden, paylaşarak ve insanlık yararını gözetecek şekilde gerçekleştiğinde, toplumsal yaşamın İslam ekonomisine uygun olacağı düşünülmektedir.
