“…Although this is around 10% more than in our sample, we should take into account that the population of larger cities such as Zagreb, is less religious. In addition, the research conducted as part of the international research project European Values Study in 2018 shows that in the general population in Croatia, the percentage of convinced atheists is 5.4%, non-religious people are 9.5%, and religious people are 78.3% (Nikodem & Zrinščak, 2019 ). This is around 10% more than in our sample, but in this case it should be taken into account that the older population is more religious.…”

“…In Croatia, the religious values of the environment in which adolescents live are shaped by the historical and cultural significance of the Catholic Church, to which 80.3% of the population belongs, according to research carried out as part of the international research project European Values Study in 2018, and by institutional church religiosity. However, what is noticeable as well is the impact of secularization and individualization associated with the loss of meaning of religious institutions (Nikodem & Zrinščak, 2019 ). The formation of religiosity is also influenced by the social class and the youth culture to which adolescents belong.…”

The coronavirus pandemic and measures to protect against the spread of infection have had a specific effect on individual age groups. This research is focused on adolescents (from 13 to 19 years old) because young people at that age are already going through a developmental crisis, which is further intensified by pandemic circumstances. The survey, conducted in Croatia from December 2020 to February 2021 (N = 857), sought to identify the possible personalizing of faith in adolescents as well as the impact of religiosity on their coping with the pandemic, especially in terms of social-emotional resilience and personal growth. In addition to descriptive indicators, the analysis used inferential procedures to check the statistical significance of differences (t-test, ANOVA), as well as connections and determinations between variables (correlation and regression analysis). The hypotheses were confirmed that the faith of religious adolescents became more personal and that it had a positive effect on psycho-social resilience and personal growth, but in combination with family cohesion, which on the one hand was stimulated by religiosity, and on the other, influenced personal growth.

“…Religioznost u Hrvatskoj zamjetno je porasla početkom tranzicijskog razdoblja, no od početka 21. stoljeća bilježi se njezin blagi, ali sustavan pad, barem u dijelu obilježja kao što je crkvenost, odnosno konfesionalna identifikacija, pohađanje vjerskih obreda te povjerenje u Crkvu i njezinu javnu ulogu (Črpić i Zrinščak, 2010;Baloban, Šimunović i Ježovita, 2019;Nikodem i Zrinščak, 2019a). Većina istraživanja, međutim, ne potvrđuje takav trend za mlade, među kojima je religioznost stabilna (Črpić i Zrinščak, 2010) ili čak u blagom porastu (Marinović Jerolimov i Jokić, 2010; Gvozdanović i dr., 2019).…”

“…Ne postoje ni instrumenti primjereni mjerenju toga složenog predmeta istraživanja kakvi bi, uz prethodno spomenutu svrhu, mogli biti od velike koristi u rasvjetljavanju još dva aktualna fenomena vezana uz religioznost u hrvatskom društvu. Najprije, riječ je o trendu polarizacije vjerničke populacije na skupinu distancirane osobne i osobito institucionalne religioznosti te na skupinu postojane i intenzivne osobne i institucionalne religioznosti, za koju se procjenjuje da obuhvaća i do četvrtine stanovništva i uz koju se veže osjetan potencijal za vjerom inspirirano društveno djelovanje (Črpić i Zrinščak, 2010;Nikodem i Zrinščak, 2019a, 2019b. Potom, intenzivna je religioznost povezana s desnom političkom orijentacijom, a ta se povezanost također intenzivira u zadnjih desetak godina (Nikodem i Zrinščak, 2019a, 2019b).…”

Diljem svijeta vjerske zajednice i laička vjerski orijentirana udruženja potiču vjernike, osobito mlade, na aktivan angažman u promicanju i zaštiti religijskih vrijednosti. U Hrvatskoj se vjerski društveni angažman promovira i prakticira već desetljećima, no taj je iskaz religioznosti ostao posve neistraženim. U svrhu stvaranja pretpostavki za izučavanje raširenosti, oblika, pozadine i učinaka takve vjerske prakse, u radu se predstavlja izrada i metrijska provjera Skale vjerom inspiriranoga društvenog angažmana (VIDA). U kvalitativnome dijelu istraživanja kreirano je 16 indikatora konceptualno predviđenih dimenzija humanitarnoga, evangelizacijskog, građanskog i političkoga društvenog angažmana. Anketni, evaluacijski, dio istraživanja proveden je na slučajnom uzorku mladih u dobi od 18 do 25 godina (N = 552), selektiranih iz velikoga nacionalnog internetskog panela. Struktura i spolna invarijatnost VIDA-e provjerena je konfirmacijskom faktorskom analizom, a valjanost njezinim povezivanjem s drugim mjerama religioznosti te srodnim stavovskim i vrijednosnim obilježjima. Za cjelinu i podskale VIDA-e analizama je demonstrirana kriterijska, konstruktna i diskriminacijska valjanost, visoka interna konzistentnost, dobro pristajanje latentne strukture podacima te podjednaka primjenjivost na mlade muškarce i žene u Hrvatskoj. Na kraju rada kratko se raspravlja o ograničenjima i mogućnostima uporabe nove mjere.

“…Rasprave o statusu religije u savremenom svijetu, uokvirene empirijskim istraživanjima koja govore o padu značaja religije i njenim transformacijama (Nikodem, 2011;Nikodem i Zrinščak, 2019;Dejvi, 2008), uzimaju kao okosnicu rasprave sekularizacijske teorije. Kada se posmatraju trendovi o stanju religije u kontekstu ovih teorija, o sekularizaciji se raspravlja na dva nivoa -institucionalnom (odvajanje crkve od države) i kulturološkom (odvajanje religije od društva) (Trninić, 2018: 23-24).…”

In recent years, there has been an increased interest in research into religiosity of different generations, especially Millenials. In this paper, we will examine the relationship of Generation Z to religion. As the most numerous population, characterised by insecurity and concern for the socio-economic and security aspects of the world in which we live, by digital mediation and socialisation accompanied by the availability of the Internet, by racial and ethnic diversity, and by supporting individual freedom and sexual amorphousness, they are the first post-Christian generation as well, shaping the world like no other generation to this day. Given the aforementioned, the subject of our research is the religious and spiritual values that this generation cultivates. The paper uses secondary data derived from the Pew Research Center research, as well as studies based on qualitative and quantitative research comparing different generation cohorts. The paper consists of three parts, with the first part presenting the sociological characteristics of Generation Z, the second one explaining the popular concepts of modern religiosity together with the respective pieces of criticism, and the final one observing Generation Z as representatives of the post-Christian world. Considering the overall social transformation that accompanies this generation, in conclusion we find that Generation Z treats religion and elements of religion as trends, that there is a search for 'religious shortcuts', i.e. that it channels its spirituality through rituals and ceremonies that meet their current needs and are not necessarily related to one religion.
