Cross-cultural studies of religion have shown that there is substantial variation in the effects of religiosity on moral and social outcomes across countries. Many authors have addressed the question of how the effects of individual religiosity depend on the religious context. The findings, however, are contradictory, casting doubts on the validity of results. The current paper reviews the existing research on how the religious context moderates the effects of individual religiosity. It reveals the limitations of existing studies, and these limitations might explain the contradictory findings. Most notably, authors tend to assume similar effects from all religions without discussing the possibility of the effects that they find being confounded with differences across denominations. Given the limited set of available comparative data, there is a high risk of selection bias because almost all the studies use data from the same limited number of international survey projects. Moreover, the operationalizations of religiosity and religious context do not sufficiently reflect the theoretical approaches. The paper gives recommendations to improve future research on how religious contexts shape the effects of individual religiosity.
