The present volume is the first one, which presents an extensive and detailed cross-national analysis of sociological data comparing extensively countries, regions and denominations in the past two decades. It displays achievements and shortages of a religious revival in the post-communist region, as well as religion's role in family life, social responsibility and public commitment. It proves the combination of de-Christianization based on previous persecution of religion and an ongoing modernization and the rise and the transformation of religion. In some countries popular religiosity of traditional social strata is dominant. In other countries there is a visible transition from old and low strata religiosity to a more restricted but socially more influential religiosity of young middle and upper strata groups. In final outcome the volume substantiates the growing public role of religion in Eastern and Central Europe as well as the distinct impact of religiosity on individual behaviour. These results contradict the idea of an overwhelming secularization but argue for a more complex process overcoming the communist past. 410 0$aReligion and society (Hague, Netherlands) ;$v47. 607 $aEurope, Central$xChurch history$y20th century 607 $aEurope, Eastern$xChurch history$y20th century 607 $aEurope, Central$xReligion 607 $aEurope, Eastern$xReligion 676 $a274.3/083 700 $aTomka$b Miklo?s$0424748 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910811971403321 996 $aExpanding religion$93924165 997 $aUNINA
