Explanations for the rise of the religiously unaffiliated have regained attention from sociologists in light of recent declines in religiosity.

| 520 | |a Explanations for the rise of the religiously unaffiliated have regained attention from sociologists in light of recent declines in religiosity. While the secularization thesis has seen revisions across disciplines, few studies link lower levels of religiosity with greater Internet use. This article draws from Charles Taylor’s widely regarded account of secularity and his concept of ‘the buffered self’ to argue that individuals who use the Internet more frequently are less religious. Using data from the Baylor Religion Survey (2017), I find that with higher levels of Internet use, individuals are less likely to pray, read sacred texts, attend religious services, consider religion personally important, or affiliate with a religious tradition. Greater Internet use is further associated with being an atheist, while other media activity such as watching television is not similarly linked. These findings ground Taylor’s theoretical work by specifying empirically measurable, contextual conditions that explain recent declines in religiosity. | ||
| 520 | |a Les explications relatives à la croissance du nombre de personnes non affiliées à une religion ont suscité un regain d’attention de la part des sociologues à la lumière des récentes baisses de la religiosité. Si la thèse de la sécularisation a fait l’objet de révisions dans toutes les disciplines, peu d’études établissent un lien entre les niveaux moins élevés de religiosité et un usage accru d’Internet. Cet article s’inspire du concept de laïcité de Charles Taylor et de son concept de « moi tampon » (« buffered self ») pour affirmer que les individus qui utilisent Internet plus régulièrement sont moins religieux. En se basant sur les données de la Baylor Religion Survey (2017), l’auteur constate qu’avec des niveaux d’utilisation d’Internet plus élevés, les individus sont moins susceptibles de prier, de lire des textes sacrés, d’assister à des services religieux, de considérer la religion comme personnellement importante ou de s’affilier à une tradition religieuse. Une plus grande utilisation d’Internet est en outre associée au fait d’être athée, alors que d’autres activités médiatiques, comme regarder la télévision, ne sont pas liées de la même manière. Ces conclusions étayent le fondement du travail théorique de Taylor en précisant les conditions contextuelles, mesurables empiriquement, qui expliquent les récents déclins de la religiosité. | ||
