| Summary: | This paper reports a test of Roof's (1976) model of secularization in a non-Christian, non-Western context. The model predicts that education, community size, and mobility will be negatively related to localism which will be positively related to established religiosity. We studied a sample of Indonesian Muslims living on Java. Generally the data do not fit the model. Community size is negatively related to Islamic religiosity but education is positively related. Localism is a multifaceted variable complexly related to religiosity. The paper concludes with a discussion of situational factors that might explain the findings. |
