This article will attempt to present the difficulties to assess religiousness in international research. From the methodological perspective this issue needs to be considered in a few aspects. First of all – accuracy, the indicators used to assess religiousness traditionally refer for the most part to the external manifestations of commitment, which in the context of the changes undergoing in the religious sphere in our times seem to be insufficient. For they generally grasp the institutional dimension of religiousness, while referring to a smaller extent to individual, private or subjective religiousness as well as spirituality. Secondly, the issue of the reliability of the survey needs to be considered. The queries constituting the indicators of the assessment of religiousness belong to a sensitive sphere. The question is whether the data collected on sensitive topics and the results depend on the administration mode. Thirdly, there is still a relative lack of clear evidence in literature on how valid comparison can be made when we use different data collection modes. In this article, on the basis of religion module data the effects of applying different modes were examined. The results of analysis lead to the conclusion that the variation between countries partly comes from selection effects and partly from mode effects.

The authors analyse the relationship between primary religious socialisation and the preservation of religious orthodoxy expressed by attitudes and practices in adulthood. They aim to test the effect of socialisation and the effect of religious practices in adulthood on the orthodoxy of people’s beliefs in three countries (Austria, the Czech Republic and the Slovak Republic), which are similar in terms of their cultural context, but have different religious environments. The authors see the different religious environment of each of the studied countries as the main explanatory factor. They also try to demonstrate that in an era of pluralism, orthodox religious attitudes (corresponding to offi cial teachings and practices) are more likely to be preserved in environments that are prevailingly secular in character. The authors work with data from the ISSP—Religion 2008 survey, tracking the following variables: primary religious socialisation, religious practice in adulthood, and orthodoxy of faith.
