Expertise on religion, not expert religion
Over the past decades, the discourse and societal conditions surrounding religious plurality have undergone substantial shifts. One significant development is the increasing interest in mapping local religious diversity, which became popular in many European countries from the 1990s. The projects had academic underpinnings but were often strongly entangled with public debates and policy-making agendas. To explore the underlying knowledge and powe…
The Evolution of Abortion Legislation in Denmark
Denmark was the first Western country to grant statutory access to abortion within its national health system in 1973. Since then, abortion legislation has remained relatively stable, with only incremental adjustments. This article examines parliamentary debates and legislative proposals on abortion from 1973 to 2025 to trace shifts in the justificatory frameworks surrounding abortion policy. Our analysis shows a clear transition from religiously…
When Space Is to Be Shared
Shiʿa Muslims constitute 10–15% of Danish Muslims, but until recently they lacked public visibility. Within the last decade, the number of Shiʿa mosques and other places of worship in Denmark has doubled, but the change in terms of the group’s public presence is even more significant than this. This article compares Denmark’s leading Shiʿa organisation with its Sunni counterpart in terms of the physical presence of places of worship and participa…
Danske moskéer og salafisme
Selvom den akademiske såvel som den offentlige og politiske interesse for salafisme er i vækst i disse år, mangler der fortsat studier af, hvordan salafisme indgår i bredere muslimske kontekster, herunder moskéer. Af en række forskellige årsager var teologiske positioner – og dermed salafisme – ikke et integreret element i den seneste danske kortlægning af moskéer fra 2017 (Kühle & Larsen 2017; Kühle & Larsen 2019). I denne artikel reflekterer vi…
Ruud Koopmans
Det er usædvanligt, at en anmeldelse har fire forfattere. Denne anmeldelse har da også en lidt usædvanlig baggrund. Da den nederlandske sociolog Ruud Koopmans’ bog Het vervallen huis van de islam. Over de crisis van de islamitische wereld (2019 ) i 2020 udkom i dansk oversættelse, blev den læst ”med stor interesse” af udlændinge- og integrationsminister Mattias Tesfaye. Faktisk fik den en så begejstret modtagelse ikke mindst af Socialdemokratiets…
Islamic Banking Amidst Continuity and Change
As a group of well-educated Muslim professionals has emerged in Denmark, interest in Islamic finance has grown. Previously, a financing company, Amanah Kredit, provided mortgages without interest, but this is no longer possible. In this article, we ask how individualization and the authority of imams and fatwas affect the views of a sample of Danish Muslims on a potential re-establishment of Islamic financial institutions in Denmark. The article …
Danish Muslims during Covid- 19
How have Danish Muslims communicated on social media about COVID-19, and how have religious communities been included in the handling of the pandemic? Religion has become part of the public debate in new ways, because religious gathering places have been closed, owing to this crisis. Muslim leaders, and ministries and municipalities, have established religion-sensitive guidelines for how people should behave during the crisis caused by the pandem…
Forskeren og journalisten krydser klinger
Debatten om islam og muslimer har – som en central dimension af debatten om integration – været en af de sidste årtiers mest ophedede og polariserede politiske debatter i Danmark. Forskningen har bl.a. kigget på mediernes rolle som videreformidlere såvel som skabere af forenklede og fortegnede forestillinger om islam og muslimer, fx gennem en selektiv udvælgelse af kilder og overfokusering på bestemte typer af historier. Men debatten har også rak…
Appendix. Metoder og opmærksomhedspunkter
Først og fremmest forklarer appendikset operationaliseringen af surveyet. Dernæst præsenteres beregningerne af forskellige skalaer, det drejer sig om religiøsitet og forskellige skalaer der adresserer det psykiske og eksistentielle velvære. Endelig præsenterer og diskuterer vi problemerne ved at sammenligne surveys indsamlet til forskellig tid og med forskellige udvælgelsesprocedurer af informanterne
Historiske og teoretiske baggrunde for Covid-19-pandemiens påvirkning af den danske befolkning
Denne artikel præsenterer udsnit af den historiske og teoretiske baggrund for undersøgelsen af COVID-19 pandemiens indvirkning på danskernes religiøsitet. Vi har lagt vægt på fire nedlagspunkter, der hver på sin måde bidrager til at tegne et billede af den religions- og kulturhistoriske samt teoretiske kontekst. Først søger vi at indplacerer forestillingen om døden i forhold til en bred religions- og kulturhistorisk horisont. Fra den kristne trad…
Befolkningens reaktion på Covid-19 set i lyset af aviser og andre medier
COVID-19 satte den danske befolkning i en ny og ukendt situation. Så befolkningens vurderinger af risiko og heraf følgende forholdsregler imod smitte var umiddelbart afhængige af de informationer, der blev udbredt gennem pressen. Statens pressehåndtering og mediernes brede opbakning som bliver behandlet trin for trin fra 11. marts til begyndelsen af oktober 2021 fik dermed afgørende betydning. Artiklen er organiseret, således at befolkningens rea…
Covid-19 og religion
Personlige eller samfundsmæssige kriser kan give anledning til, at man stiller eksistentielle eller religiøse spørgsmål. Med afsæt i en skala for religiøsitet viser artiklen, at et mindretal af respondenterne er blandt de mest religiøse, og at de naturligt forbinder nedlukningen af trossamfundene med afsavn. Til gengæld har en del af dem deltaget i virtuelle alternativer. Holdningen til nedlukningen af trossamfundene adskiller sig ikke blandt de …
Covid-19-krisen
Denne artikel leverer en oversigt over og en gennemgang af de konkrete politiske indgreb, som den danske regering foretog med henblik på at opdæmme smittespredning i de første måneder af COVID-19-pandemien i Danmark 2020
Tillid under pres? Konkluderende overvejelser
I de samfundsmæssige debatter om COVID-19 italesættes pandemien gerne som en krise: som en samfundsmæssig, økonomisk, politisk krise eller som årsag til individuelle psykologiske kriser. Hvor undersøgelser fra andre dele af verden peger på, at pandemien her har medført en voksende interesse for religiøse aktiviteter og/eller refleksioner, kan vi konkludere, at denne trend kun har omfattet en meget lille del af den danske befolkning. Artiklerne i …
Tillid under Covid-19
I artiklen undersøger vi danskernes tillid til myndighederne under krisen, relationen mellem den høje grad af tillid til myndighederne og efterlevelse af myndighedernes råd for at undgå spredning af smitte, samt hvordan en stigende mistillid til samfundet kan have konsekvenser for samfundets sammenhængskraft blandt andet i form af stigende polarisering. Den generelle tillid til andre mennesker er høj i Danmark, og vores undersøgelse viser, at man…

Forced' Online Religion
On 11 March 2020, the Danish Prime Minister announced a forthcoming lockdown of Danish society due to the COVID-19 pandemic and shut down all public institutions, including the national church. Instructions for the lockdown of religious minority communities were issued a week later. The total lockdown of the Danish religious landscape is both historically unprecedented and radical in a global context, and it raises questions about mediatized reli…

Religious Complexity in Nordic Public Spheres
This article studies empirically the complexity of religion in the public sphere by systematically comparing the five Nordic countries. Sociologists debate if current trends in the West point to secularization or a return of religion (deprivatization, desecularization, or post-secularity). By drawing on the social science complexity reference, this article offers a critique of current scholarship and introduces the concept of religious complexity…
One to serve them all. The growth of chaplaincy in public institutions in Denmark
The number of Lutheran chaplains in Danish public institutions (hospitals, prisons, the military) has grown substantially in the last few decades. This article presents the results of a recent study of Lutheran (Church of Denmark) chaplains. The material studied is a collection of legal documents and media, a population survey of 300 chaplains, and 34 qualitative interviews. On the basis of this comprehensive body of data, we argue that even in a…
Mosques, Muslims, Methods
Previous research has questioned the use of mosques as points of entry for research about Muslims in Europe. Part of the background has been a new emphasis on lived religion and a critique of a one-sided focus on religious institutions. We argue that some of this criticism is theoretically ill-founded and we also point out that some trends may make mosques more important in research about Muslims. In section 1, we go through the most important li…
Rooms of Silence at Three Universities in Scandinavia
In recent decades, a new type of room has been established in public institutions in Europe: the rooms of silence. In this article, rooms of silence at three Scandinavian universities are analyzed with focus on intention, materiality, and use in relation to increased religious diversity in the student population, individualization, and ongoing secularization. This is done by using a typology which distinguishes between individual and collective u…
The Critical Analysis of Religious Diversity
Drawing on international and thematic case studies, The Critical Analysis of Religious Diversity asks its readers to pay attention to the assumptions and processes by which scholars, religious practitioners and states construct religious diversity. The study has three foci: theoretical and methodological issues; religious diversity in non-Western contexts; and religious diversity in social contexts. Together, these trans-contextual studies are ut…

Religious Diversity and Pluralism
Although religious pluralism is a key word for understanding contemporary religious life, it is only recently that in-depth studies of religious pluralism have appeared. This article presents major findings from the Danish Pluralism Project, a collective research project which was launched in 2002. Religious diversity has grown in Denmark with the arrival of new immigrant groups and with new forms and interpretations of traditional religious and …

Radicalisation and the Limits of Tolerance
Since 2004/05, radicalisation has emerged as the major framework for addressing the presence of extremist views and actions among Muslims in the West. In 2009 the Danish government drafted an action plan to prevent radicalisation. Departing from an empirical study of a neo-orthodox Muslim milieu in Denmark, this article places the definition of radicalisation provided by the Danish action plan in the context of the target group's own ideas on Isl…

Policies of Radicalisation as Anti- and Countercult Ideologies
The similarities between research in ‘new religious movements’ and radicalization has been noticed by several scholars. This article however attempt to view the entire logic of ‘radicalization controversies’ through the lens of ‘cult controveries’. With a point of departure in material from Denmark, similarities are found between the position of scholars attempting to provide nuanced understandings of complex phenomena as well as in dynamics betw…

Excuse me, which radical organization are you a member of? Reflections on methods to study highly religious but non-organized Muslims
Research on Muslim minorities in Europe has focused on Muslim organizations. This is understandable as most organizations are uncomplicated objects of study: they provide members for interviews and locations for participant observation. But many Muslims are not engaged in Muslim organizations. How do we research them? Drawing on the experiences from a study on highly practising, but non-organized Muslims in Aarhus, Denmark, this paper will discus…
Sekularingseringstesen i religionssociologien
Secularization has been á major issue in sociological debates on religion. Recent developments in theory as well as in social reality seems to indicate that the future for the seularization thesis will not be as glorious as the past. The main argument in this article is that the secularization thesis, which can more properly be understood as a paradigm in the Kuhnian sense, is no longer a very useful frame for the sociological study of religion. …

Meyer-Dietrichs bog kombinerer på en avanceret måde teori og metode i en dybtgående analyse af en enkelt 4000 år gammel sarkofag.Studiet tager udgangspunkt i en rimelig antagelse af, at det gamle Egyptens optagethed af døden var religiøs, samt i den nok mere tvivlsomme formodning om, at religion afspejler økologiske forhold.Under den dobbelte forudsaetning af, at 1) egypternes forhold til døden var relateret til forestillinger om genfødsel og, at…

Concluding Remarks On Religion And State In The Nordic Countries
Introduction Legal Regulation Of Religion In The Nordic Countries
Religion And State In Denmark Exception Among Exceptions
A strong relationship remains between the Danish state and the Evangelical Lutheran Church (the Folkekirke) in Denmark. This is surprising, because the relationship between church and state is undergoing changes in the other Nordic countries. Drawing on legal texts, media and parliamentary debates, and material on administrative practices in the management of religious diversity, this article will argue that few actual changes have in fact taken …

Robert Bellah - en stor sociolog
English abstract: Bellah, who died in 2013, was a grand sociologist. His name is often connected to the concept civil religion, a concept introduced by Bellah in a 1967-article. During the 1970’s Bellah revised his thinking on civil religion, but he was unsuccessful in finding resonance for it. The legacy of Bellah is therefore not so much to be found within the specific study of civil religion. His legacy lies in his engagement with connecting m…
