对志愿服务行为的研究一致发现宗教与志愿服务之间存在积极的关系。我们使用来自宗教身份和影响力调查的去教堂的新教徒样本（N = 1,738），研究了宗教信仰、宗教身份、宗教社会化和宗教社交网络对教会项目和非教会组织中当地志愿者活动的具体影响，以及一般志愿服务倾向。这些影响是在宗教资本的理论框架内呈现的。应用逻辑回归技术在一定程度上确定了所有措施对这些影响的贡献强度，但宗教信仰（特别是参与教会活动）仍然是最强的影响。总体而言，重大的宗教影响在与教会相关的志愿服务背景下最为明显，这表明去教堂的新教徒通过当地教会表现出强烈的社区认同感。下面讨论了这些结果及其对志愿服务的影响。
Research on volunteering behavior has consistently found a positive relationship between religion and volunteering. Using a sample of churchgoing Protestants (N=1,738) from the Religious Identity and Influence Survey we examine the specific influences of religiosity, religious identity, religious socialization, and religious social networks on local volunteer activity in church programs and non-church organizations, as well as general volunteering tendencies. These influences are presented within the theoretical framework of religious capital. Logistic regression techniques were applied to determine the strength of the contribution of these influences by all measures to some degree, but religiosity (specifically participation in church activities) remains the strongest influence. Significant religious influences overall are most pronounced with the context of church-related volunteering which suggests that churchgoing Protestant exhibit a strong sense of community identity through their local churches. A discussion of these results and their implications for volunteering follows.
