COUTINHO, José Pereira. Clusters of religiosity of Portuguese population. Anál. Social [online]. 2015, n.216, pp.604-631. ISSN 0003-2573.

This article, based on EVS 2008, presents clusters of religiosity regarding the Portuguese population. The author based his research on multiple correspondence analysis and clusters analysis, using one indicator for each dimension of religiosity (belief, practice, and attitude). Five clusters of religiosity were found: non-practicing heterodox believers, occasional practicing heterodox believers, skeptical Catholics, intermediate Catholics, and observant Catholics. These clusters were crossed with socio-demographic indicators and indicators to assess individualization.

Palavras-chave : religiosity; individualization; Portugal; Catholicism.
