本文报告了一项以荷兰 40 岁人群为样本，对教会成员身份与宗教信仰之间关系进行的研究。首先，它使用纵向数据集描述了 1983 年至 2007 年间教会成员的发展。这导致了五个群体的识别：稳定的非成员、稳定的名义成员、稳定的核心成员、皈依者和叛教者。接下来从两个理论立场的角度来研究这些成员群体的宗教信仰。从世俗化的角度来看，这一假设得到了检验：核心成员和皈依者将主要认可传统的、正统的宗教信仰。从宗教个体化的角度来看，出现了两种可供选择的假设。首先，名义成员和叛教者将继续保持中等水平的传统宗教信仰；其次，名义成员和叛教者将更喜欢其他宗教信仰。该研究支持与世俗化相关的假设，但对与宗教个体化相关的假设不太清楚。
This paper reports on a study of the relation between church membership and religious belief among a sample of Dutch forty-year-olds. First it describes developments in church membership between 1983 and 2007, using a longitudinal data set. This results in the identification of five groups: stable non-members, stable nominal members, stable core members, converts and apostates. Next the religious beliefs of these membership groups are studied from the perspective of two theoretical positions. From the perspective of secularization the assumption is tested that core members and converts will primarily endorse traditional, orthodox religious beliefs. From the perspective of religious individualization two alternative assumptions emerge. First, moderate levels of traditional religiosity will persist among nominal members and apostates and, secondly, nominal members and apostates will prefer alternative religious beliefs. The study supports the assumption relating to secularization, but is less clear about the assumptions relating to religious individualization.
