Religion Survey



During my time in Sweden, I’ll be researching the topic of religion. The Scandinavian nations are noteworthy for their secularism. While approximately 40% of Americans attend religious services on a regular basis, only 5% of Swedes do so.

I tasked my sociology students with creating a survey to study these divergent behaviors, and in the end we decided to recreate a Gallop poll on religion in America from 2007. The main goal of this study is to explore what motivates individuals to either participate or not participate in religious services, and then to compare those results across social categories.

Please consider participating in our research by completing the survey. You likely will be asked to enter a Google account, but that is only to prevent multiple responses. I can assure you that all responses will be kept anonymous and the data collected will be used for classroom academic purposes only.

I’m also working on a way to effectively deploy this survey while I’m in Sweden. I appreciate any suggestions or advice that anyone can provide. Please feel free to share this link--I welcome as many responses as I can get.

Here's the survey link: Religious Participation
