Religious and democratic values - not so much of a clash?
Based on a survey comprising about 2.000 young ethnic Danes and first generation migrants
from Iran, Pakistan and Turkey, this paper investigates the relation between democratic values
and various forms of authority and networks among the migrants.
The attitudes towards democracy will be investigated in regards to the circle of
acquaintances, religious belonging and religiosity.
It will be argued that religion has influence on democratic values and that the direction of
the influence by and large is the same whether the religion is Christianity or Islam. Ethnicity
and gender have, however, a large impact on the attitudes to democracy and authoritarian
forms of government.
