Resumen

Este trabajo muestra una serie de regularidades entre la religiosidad de los sujetos y algunas de sus características personales. Usando la base de datos ISSP-98 de la UNESCO y, a través de un análisis de componentes principales, obtenemos un índice de actividad (religiosa) y otro de creencias para cada sujeto. Los resultados más relevantes del trabajo son: 1) La actividad religiosa de los individuos y sus creencias están (positivamente) relacionadas. 2) La experiencia del sujeto cuando niño (la asistencia de sus padres a la iglesia y su propia asistencia) también explican la práctica actual. 3) Las mujeres, los casados (más todavía si lo están con católicos) y los que tienen más edad también muestran mayor nivel de religiosidad. 4) Los que tienen mayor nivel educativo son menos religiosos pero estos tienen mejores salarios. 5) No hay relación entre fertilidad y actividad religiosa actual.
