Summary:

Social scientists, mostly from Eastern Europe who were raised and educated after the fall of communism and the return of Christianity, explore experiencing religion, strategies of religious elites, and religion and politics. Their topics include negotiating a border between religion and spirituality, the dynamics of counter-stigmatization strategy, the acculturation of Hinduism and the Czech traditions of yoga, clericalization of nationalism, a sociological and legal analysis of freedom of religion in the Baltic states, comparative evidence from eastern and western Europe on confronting religion with national pride values, and the political secularity of religious people in European countries.
