本文调查了英国、德国、荷兰和瑞典四个欧洲国家移民儿童的宗教信仰。在宗教和移民社会学的主要理论线索，我们分析了不同宗教信仰的移民家庭内的宗教信仰的代际变化，并测试到何种程度的共同的论点可以解释现有的模式。我们克服了一些挑战和缺点，在这一领域的研究亲二对。使用严格可比和全面的数据，从新的移民子女纵向调查在四个欧洲国家（CILS4EU），我们发现一个相当稳定的宗教信仰，甚至增加在穆斯林移民家庭，相反，基督教移民家庭，其宗教信仰下降了几代人。这一发现在四个国家都非常稳定。我们的分析还表明，宗教信仰的家庭间变化与生活其他领域的同化过程只有微弱的相关性。
This paper investigates religiosity among immigrant children in four European countries: England, Germany, the Netherlands and Sweden. Drawing on major strands of theories in the sociology of religion and of migration, we analyse intergenerational change in religiosity within immigrant families of different religious affiliation and test how far common arguments can contribute to explaining existing patterns. We overcome several challenges and shortcomings in this field by studying adolescent-parent dyads. Using strictly comparable and comprehensive data from the new Children of Immigrants Longitudinal Survey in Four European Countries (CILS4EU), we find a considerable stability of religiosity or even an increase therein within Muslim immigrant families, in contrast to Christian immigrant families, whose religiosity declines over generations. This finding is astonishingly stable across the four countries. Our analyses furthermore suggest that interfamilial change in religiosity is only weakly related to assimilation processes in other domains of life.
