This article considers the persistent links between religion and welfare across Europe. It does so by drawing on an extensive body of comparative material brought together by the Uppsala Religion and Society Research Centre. A central question is addressed: why is it that the churches are doing more than they used to as agents of welfare despite the fact that Europe itself is becoming more rather than less secular? The findings reveal the continuing significance of religion (and indeed of theology) as an independent variable in this increasingly studied field
