Abstract

Religious Experience, Socialisation and Gender Differences among Millennials: Recent studies on young people conducted at national and international levels have shown an increasing trend towards individualised and plural forms of religious involvement inside and outside the institutional contexts of churches and religious groups. In the last decades, the debate on religious socialisation has been intertwined with the changing gender roles and stereotypes and with the increased level of women's emancipation in society. This paper focuses on young people, their religious experience and their relationships with adults, paying specific attention to the Millennial generation (women and men between the ages of 20 and 36). The main hypothesis is to verify the persistence and breadth of a diversification between women and men, especially among young Millennials, in relation to specific dimensions of the religious experience (belonging and practices) and to religious socialisation. With regard to gender differences, the paper will reflect on the role played by women/mothers in the intergenerational transmission of religious beliefs and on how religious socialisation is still linked to the family and to religious figures or associations.
