As religion becomes less important to an individual's identity, what will it be replaced with? My research suggests the answer may be politics. (Links in replies.)
Experiment: I started a thread on reddit for discussion of our article on global religious decline www.reddit.com/r/religion/c...
What are the best practices for promoting good discussions on reddit? Threading of discussion there seems much better than here.

New study coming in @sociologicalsci.bsky.social. We asked Americans which topics from the GSS they spend time talking about. Generally, people say they talk about these issues "never" (~40%) or "once or twice in the past year." Religious topics much more common than most political, "social" issues.
a new article forthcoming in Sociological Science! we use an original survey of 2,117 Americans to examine how often people report discussing social and political issues tapped by 88 questions in the GSS. the preprint is up at SocArXiv: osf.io/vqp2g_v1
