520 |a Why do Cubans convert to Soka Gakkai (SGI)? What factors influence their religious choice? Based on fieldwork conducted in Havana, three main affiliation patterns are identified: the pursuit of practical benefits, spiritual quests and the irreligious paths. At the micro level, these are explained by the converts’ perceived congruence between their own (non-)religious worldview and SGI. Next, at the meso level, it is shown that a major institutional factor is SGI’s capacity to supply simultaneously a utilitarian religious perspective, an alternative spirituality and a non-theistic humanistic message. Finally, individual and institutional factors are linked to the socio-cultural context.
