RELIGIOSITY AND SOCIAL GROUPS Miller and Hoffman (Gender and Religiosity) - They found that more women attend church than men. From their statistics in England 2005, they found 1.8 million women attend where as a lower 1.36 million men attend the institutions. Women express a greater interest in religion having stronger commitments. Bruce states there are 2x more women in sects than men. They also explain they could be more likely to attend because they are usually the ones who are likely to do part time work in family’s so they have more free time and motivation to go. Glock and Stanbridge- They explain that women attend more because they are often the ones who are deprived more. Greeley (Socialisation and Gender Role)    They found that women participate more in religious institutions because they are more attracted to church as a source of identity. The y argue that taking care of other family members increases women’s religiosity because it involves responsibility for their ultimate welfare as well as their everyday needs. Brown (Women and New Age)    They argue that since the 1960’s women have begun to reject the traditional gender roles which religions like Christianity promoted and were closely connected due to practices. This is why recent trends have led to a dramatic decline in church going among women. From 1990 to 2005, there was a 16.4% drop in attendance Modood (First and Second Generation Ethnic Religiosity)    Found that the second generation of even ethnic groups have few observancy in the importance of religion. However, the Policies Institute found that Muslims, Blacks and Hindus are more likel y to see religion as more important than whites. Bruce (Religion as an Ethnic Cultural Defence)    Bruce argues that religion in certain situations can offer support and a sense of cultural identity in an uncertain or hostile environment. This is good for coping with the negativities in society such as discrimination and racism. Blacks often join black led Churches due to feeling uneasy and not welcome. Pryce (Cultural Transition in Bristol)   Explains that religion provides a means of easing the transition into a new culture by providing support and a sense of community.  For example, Pentecostalism is a highly adaptive religion of the oppressed providing migrants with values
