Religious Pluralism and Dimensions of Religiosity: Evidence from the Project Religious and Moral Pluralism (RAMP).

  • Chapter
Church and Religion in Contemporary Europe

Abstract

The international research project ‘Religious and Moral Pluralism’ (RAMP) was designed to study the religious and moral diversity in Europe and its social and political implications. The initiators of the Ramp-project, Wolfgang Jagodzinski and Karel Dobbelaere, have invited the collaborators from 15 countries, who for a few years worked on its preparation. On the basis of research interests and experiences of scholars involved in the project several theoretical approaches were discussed as a framework for formulating specific hypotheses and their operationalization.
