Abstract
The article explores religious dynamics in Eastern European societies by relating religious change to denominational structures of respective societies. It draws on data from three waves of the European Values Study (wave II, III, and IV). The analysis is based on three indicators: self-evaluation of one’s religiosity level, religious service attendance frequency, and affiliation with a dominant denomination. In this study, a denomination is considered dominant in a particular society if its share of affiliates (as declared in surveys) is larger than a respective share of any other denomination. The data reveals that Eastern European societies with prevailing Catholic identity had a decrease in self-reported church attendance while those with prevailing Orthodox identity had an increase in self-reported church attendance as well as in the share of those who consider themselves religious and those who declare Orthodox affiliation.
