Atheism and the Secularization Thesis
On the Receiving End
The present study examines perceived discrimination faced by religious ‘nones’. After distinguishing between atheists, agnostics, and ‘nones’ who are deists or theists, we use nationally representative data from the 2008 American Religious Identification Survey (ARIS) to study the contexts in which these various types of religious ‘nones’ have reported experiencing discrimination. The strongest predictor of such discrimination was not theological…
Introduction to the Special Issue on Jewish Secularism
What Americans Really Believe
This book definitely tells us what Rodney Stark and his team of 18 acolytes/contributors at the Institute for the Study of Religion at Baylor believe. But it is open to question if it tells us what Americans really believe. This strange volume is built around 23 short essays each on a theme seemingly chosen in order to refute supposed myths and misperceptions held by “avid listeners of National Public radio” (28) that were created by “experts bas…
An appreciation of the contribution of Egon Mayer to Jewish population, community, and family studies
'Communities and Jewish Identity in Europe', Transcript of First Plenary of the Third General Assembly of European Jewry, Budapest 20-23 May 2004
The European Jewish reality today confounds predictions of decline with demographic decline. We can see that predictions of Jewish decline don't mean that the data was wrong, but rather the interpretation of the data on Jewish life was wrong. To look at the inevitably flawed data and not see trends that cannot be altered is just bad futurology. The fact is (and we know it from our daily life, work life as well as leisure life) that today informat…

Secular Education and the Religious Profile of Contemporary Black and White Americans

Educational attainment, i.e., high school and college graduation rates, was used as a measure of social status. Three is…

Residential Patterns and Processes
This paper examines the concentration and separation of ethnic groups using the contemporary example of Jews in the three Greater London boroughs of Hackney, Redbridge, and Bamrnet. The high Index of Dissimilarity, measured at the borough scale, of this well-established population, compared with the general population, raises issues concerning the scale of analysis and time-period of study of residential patterns and processes. Rather than observ…

Residential Change in a Middle-Class Suburban Ethnic Population
Complex social issues such as integration and segregation are often inadequately researched because of terminological and methodological deficiencies and inappropriate scales of study. A recent paper on British Jewry (Newman, 1985) suffers from such failings by discussing these issues but neglecting to relate to them directly in the analysis

The political process and the Jews in Britain
A more complex pressure‐group model is a more accurate explanation of Anglo‐Jewish political behaviour at the constituency level than any ethnic bloc vote thesis, the evidence for which does not exist. The alleged ethnic bias of Jews towards the Conservatives after 1970 is questionable when allowance is made for the socio‐economic profile. However, the postwar swing towards the Conservatives is accepted and complementary electoral behaviour, or g…

The Jewish dead in the great war as an indicator for the location, size and social structure of Anglo‐Jewry in 1914
Use of statistics of Jewish war dead from the Great War throws some light on the Jewish community in Great Britain at a time when the mass immigration from Eastern Europe had more or less run its course. The statistics show some discrepancies with commonly quoted figures from the ‘Jewish Year Book’, as Year Book data outside the smaller immigrant communities were often little more than guesses and had sharp underestimates for more anglicized comm…
