Abstract

This article presents attitudes of feminists, as a distinctive social group in Serbia on religiosity and influence of church in society. Views about church and a relation to traditional religiosity in feminism were conditioned by attitudes that church had towards women in past. A variety of respondents’ answers indicate that the question of religiosity is related to other important social facts and basic human rights, such as, women’s abortion right and civil individual rights in secular state. Feminist opinions on religiosity can be linked to wider social phenomena - the reading of religion, the influence of church in secular state, the individual rights and religious education in public schools. Based on the qualitative analysis of data obtained through interviews with feminists we have received a wider insight into religiosity in Serbia.
