Abstract

[According to a 2011 survey conducted in the 27 member countries of the European Union, all immigrant groups tend to be more religious than the native born population of the host country (Tubergen and Sindradottir 2011). Religiosity was measured as the sum of three factors: frequency of prayer, attendance of religious services and self-declaration as religious. Based on the subjective religiosity, the difference between immigrants and native population is small. Overall, immigrants pray more (30.02%) than native populations (21.86%) and attend religious services at least once in a week in the receiving countries. Interestingly, the religiosity of the same immigrant group varies from one receiving country to another. For example; certain destination countries such as Greece, Poland, Portugal, and the UK demonstrate high levels of immigrant religiosity, however, Scandinavian and Eastern European countries (except Poland) tend to show lower levels of religiosity for immigrants as compared to other countries based on their “religious attendance and praying. There are also certain countries (like Cyprus, Greece, and Ukraine) whose native born population is more religious than the immigrant population.]
