DIY Faith
Young Americans aren’t simply abandoning religion—they’re transforming it. Drawing on a decade of interviews with youth transitioning into adulthood in the early 2000s, the authors show how these youth broke away from traditional religious institutions while celebrating the sacredness of the individual and pursuing new forms of community
Breaking Free of the Iron Cage
The United States is undergoing a remarkable religious transformation: in just a few decades, the proportion of religious 'nones' surged from 1 in 20 to more than 1 in 4. Through four waves of National Study of Youth and Religion surveys and in-depth interviews (2003-2013) linked with administrative data, this study follows a cohort of adolescents coming of age during the rapid rise of the 'nones' and shifting social values, including growing sup…
World Society, Cultural Diversity, and Gender Gap in Political Empowerment
This article studies the interactive effects of world society and cultural diversity on the gender gap in political empowerment. Focusing on the Women’s Share of Seats in National Parliaments ( WSSNP ) and the Gender Gap in Political Empowerment ( GGPE ) Index as two main outcome variables, the analyses use a growth curve approach to estimate nations’ trajectories of gender political inequality and explain them by time-invariant and time-varying …
Foreign direct investment, sectoral distribution and income inequality in developed and developing economies
Despite some progress in reducing income inequality between countries over the last two decades, there is evidence that income inequality is on the rise within nations. This article uses panel data compiled from multiple sources and a growth curve modeling approach to examine the relationship between foreign direct investment (FDI) and within-nation income inequality across two samples: one comprising 2,095 country-year observations nested in 141…
Income Inequality, World Polity, and Political Secularization
Previous works find descriptive evidence for a long-term political secularization trend during the nineteenth century, and a political desecularization trend starting in the late 1970s. This study, however, is an attempt to go beyond mere descriptions of global trends by introducing a methodological approach that can effectively account for the differences between countries in their paths either toward or away from political secularization. We us…

Asian Americans and Income Inequality
Asian Americans nearing economic parity with White individuals is unique, particularly given the historical and contemporary disadvantaged position of other racial minorities in the U.S. labor market. While there is growing literature exploring how Asian Americans are reshaping the labor force, most of these studies categorize them as a homogenous group, failing to recognize social, cultural, and historical diversities within the community. Using…
Right-Wing Stewards
This article studies the relationship between individuals' religiosity, political ideology, and environmental concern, in a cross-national setting. Drawing data from multiple waves of the World Values Survey (1999-2009), the final sample of this study includes 44,391 respondents nested in 43 countries. By using a multi-level modeling technique, the study finds that religiosity is positively associated with respondents' environmental concerns in t…
Elective Affinities in the Anthropocene
To reach a deeper understanding of the complex relationship between religion and the natural environment, it is important to move beyond essentializing any religious tradition as having a pro-environmental or anti-environmental ethic. Rather, prior work has shown that the canonical, scholarly, and popular literatures and discourse of a number of religious traditions can and have been socially and rhetorically constructed as supporting an array of…
Secular Values, Economic Development, and Gender Inequality in a Global Context
This article investigates how cultural and material factors can explain disparities observed in different forms of gender inequality between and within nations. Using data from multiple sources, the author constructs a panel dataset that includes 150 country-year observations nested in 70 countries, covering 23 years from 1991 to 2013. Through estimating hybrid panel models, this article discovers that more secular countries have lower maternal m…
Inequality and Religiosity in a Global Context
Drawing on data from the World Values Survey (1995–2014), and using a multilevel modeling technique, this article explores the relationship between social inequalities and religiosity for a sample of 223,016 respondents nested in 85 countries. Mixed-effects regression models find that income inequality is a stronger determinant of individuals’ religiosity in developing (lower middle-income) countries compared to developed (higher middle-income an…
Perception of Western governments’ hostility to Islam among European Muslims before and after Isis
Perception of Western governments’ hostility to Islam is one of the indicating features of Islamic fundamentalism and, in some cases, is serving as a pull to join extremist groups. In this paper, using data from two waves of a cross‐national survey, we investigate what affects European Muslims’ opinions about Western governments. We find that residential segregation is associated with perceived hostility of Western governments to Islam. Further, …
