在过去的十年里，“没有归属感的信仰”已经成为欧洲许多宗教工作的口号。使用英国家庭小组调查和英国社会态度调查的数据，宗教信仰是相当强大的，即使去教堂是下降的论文。有证据表明，在英国，信仰的侵蚀速度与归属感的两个关键方面--宗教归属和出勤率--的侵蚀速度相同。信仰水平低于名义归属。宗教变化的时期，队列和年龄的影响的作用被认为是，下降是代际的。关于宗教从父母传给子女的比率，结果表明，父母的宗教信仰只有大约一半能成功地传给子女，而没有宗教信仰的人几乎总是传给子女，宗教信仰的传递和归属感的传递一样微弱。
‘Believing without belonging’ has become the catchphrase of much European work on religion in the past decade. The thesis that religious belief is fairly robust even if churchgoing is declining is examined using data from the British Household Panel Survey and the British Social Attitudes surveys. The evidence suggests that belief has in fact eroded in Britain at the same rate as two key aspects of belonging: religious affiliation and attendance. Levels of belief are lower than those of nominal belonging. The roles of period, cohort and age effects on religious change are considered; the conclusion is that decline is generational. In relation to the rates at which religion is transmitted from parents to children, the results suggest that only about half of parental religiosity is successfully transmitted, while absence of religion is almost always passed on. Transmission is just as weak for believing as for belonging.
