Existing scholarly literature has mainly focused on two religiosity-related sources of levels of political participation: the associational membership theory, and the good citizen theory. These theories have focused on church attendance, and skills relevant to the political sphere, but not on religiosity more broadly. This study aims to determine the relationship between religiosity and levels of political participation by conducting a large-N observational analysis of the effect of religiosity on political participation using data from the European Social Survey Wave 10 (2020). The findings suggest that there is a statistically significant positive relationship between church attendance and levels of political participation and a non-statistically significant negative relationship between feelings of religiousness and political participation.Show less
