This book offers a systematic exploration of the role of religion
and religiosity in electoral politics in Catholic, Protestant, and
religiously mixed countries across Western Europe and in the United
States. The chapters approach the relationship between religion,
religiosity, and electoral behaviour from a variety of different
angles. They include analyses of secularization trends; comparative
studies of the links between vote choice and religiosity;
longitudinal single country studies; and a novel discussion of the
theoretical underpinnings of the politicization of religion that
provides a radically new framework for the analysis of the role of
religiosity in election studies. The volume shows that despite the
expectations of secularization theory, religiosity remains relevant
when casting votes. It also argues that the traditional notion of
religious cleavage should be replaced with the more accurate idea
of religious voting. Chapters draw on National Election Studies
data and comparative datasets such as European Values Studies
(EVS), European Social Surveys (ESS), and European Election Studies
(EES) to empirically test expectations regarding religious voting.
The results show that variations in religious voting are
conditional on both the agency of political and ecclesiastical
leaders when politicizing religious issues and the legacies of
previous societal and political religious conflicts, regardless of
whether the original party system had a predominant religious
cleavage.
