Post Critical Belief Scale (Horvath - Szabo, 2003; Hutsebaut, 1996) orders different approaches towards religion into two dimensions: Inclusion vs. Exclusion of Transcendence and Symbolic vs. Literal processing of religious contents. Recently a new computational method was developed for the scale directly assessing the underlying two-dimensional structure by PCA. These dimensions can be henceforth associated with several other variables. Recently published results as well as theoretical and methodological aspects of the computational process will be reviewed in the article. Applicability of the method was tested on a sample of 1820 subjects. Results show that internal structure of the Flemish and Hungarian versions of the scale is predominantly identical. Existence of the two dimensions could be found in Hungarian sample regardless of gender and denomination. Furthermore, stability of the internal structure was high across the subsamples. The authors proposed a shortened 18 item version of the scale that can be seen as a substitute of the original 33 item version. In sum, their results showed that two-dimensional computation of the Post Critical Belief Scale is a reliable method that can provide new insights for psychological investigation of religiosity.
