Abstract

This study of religious syncretism analyzes the mixing of institutional Christian religious beliefs and practices with popular religious beliefs and practices, superstitions, and beliefs from other religions by individuals from eleven Western and Central European countries. The data were collected by interviews in the frame of the European Religious and Moral Pluralism Project (RAMP). No specific patterns of syncretism were found: the individual combinations are rather idiosyncratic. However, the analysis of the data reveals the interrelatedness of popular religious beliefs and practices with superstitions, and the impact of such social and cultural variables as church affiliation, type and degree of church commitment, generation, gender and level of education.
