| Summary: | We explore determinants of children's religious affiliation in a county of eastern Germany to better understand the process of religious socialisation in a highly secular society. The typical determinants of religious affiliation fail to explain adolescent religious behaviour in eastern Germany. Mother's religious affiliation is the only factor that predicts religious affiliation among these young people. We conclude that in a highly secular society it is only the primary group affiliations, such as the family, which influence church affiliation. |
