T1  - Säkular – mehr als „nichtreligiös“?
JF  - International Journal of Practical Theology
N2  - There is hardly an autonomous description of those who do not belong to a religious denomination and who don't regard themselves as religious in a traditional way. The terms “non-denominational” and “non-religious” implicate a dissociation from the historically traditional concept of religion, but they do not offer any alternative ideological communalities. This article discusses the option of a “secular worldview” and investigates whether religious and non-religious respondents differ in their attitudes on selected human rights – and if so, to what extent. The empirical study (N=2244) shows that human rights are supported by all young people, athough in some cases with differing emphases. In basic terms, we can discern a common worldview or ‘Weltanschauung’ of secular respondents. This is recognizable as an approval of the intrinsic value of the Other as well as a recognition of norms set by public society.
N2  - Für Menschen ohne Religionszugehörigkeit und religiöses Selbstverständnis liegt kaum eine Beschreibung jenseits negativer Abgrenzungen von traditioneller Religion vor, wie sie in den Begriffen „nichtreligiös“ und „konfessionslos“ zum Ausdruck kommen. Der Aufsatz untersucht die Option eines säkularen „worldview“ und fragt, ob und in welchem Maß religiöse und nichtreligiöse Studienteilnehmer sich in ihrer Haltung zu Menschenrechten unterscheiden. Die empirische Studie (N=2244) zeigt, dass Menschenrechte bei jungen Menschen bei unterschiedlichen Akzentsetzungen durchweg auf Zustimmung stoßen. In Umrissen tritt dabei ein gemeinsamer „worldview“ oder eine „Weltanschauung“ der säkularen Befragten hervor, die in der Anerkennung des intrinsischen Wertes des Anderen und gesellschaftlich gesetzter Normen besteht.

T1  - The impact of religion and national origin on attitudes towards refugee rights: an international comparative empirical study
JF  - Religions
N2  - This paper is concerned with the rights of refugees. The refugee issue has been an acutely charged item on the political agenda for several years. Although the great waves of influx have flattened out, people are continually venturing into Europe. Europe’s handling of refugees has been subject to strong criticism, and the accusation that various actions contradict internationally agreed law is particularly serious. It remains a question of how to respond appropriately to the influx of people fearing for their lives. This paper examines empirically how young people from different denominations in Germany (n = 2022) and how Roman Catholics from 10 countries (n = 5363) evaluate refugee rights. It also investigates whether individual religiosity moderates the influence of denomination or national context. The results show that there are no significant differences between respondents from different denominations, but there are significant differences between respondents from different countries. However, religiosity was not found to moderate the influence of denomination or national context. These findings suggest that attitudes towards refugee rights depend more on the national context in which people live rather than on their religious affiliation or individual religiosity.
