This article explores religious adaptation among immigrant-origin youth in Norway, using the first wave of the Children of Immigrants Longitudinal Study in Norway (CILS-NOR). To capture different dimensions of religious change, we distinguish between 1) level of religiosity, measured by religious salience and religious practices, and 2) social forms of religious belief, measured as the level of rule orientation and theological exclusivism. We compare immigrant-origin youth in Norway with young people in their parents’ origin countries, using the World Value Survey. We then compare immigrant-origin youth who were born in Norway to those who were born abroad and according to their parents’ length of residence in Norway. As expected, immigrant-origin youth from outside Western Europe—and those originating in Muslim countries in particular—were more religious than native and western-origin youth and more rule oriented and exclusivist in their religious beliefs. However, our results suggest that a process of both religious decline and religious individualization is underway among immigrant origin youth in Norway, although this process appears to unfold slower for Muslims than for non-Muslims. The level and social forms of religiosity among immigrant-origin youth are partially linked to their integration in other fields, particularly inter-ethnic friendships. We argue that comparative studies on how national contexts of reception shape religious adaptations, as well as studies aiming to disentangle the complex relationship between religious adaptation and integration in other fields, are needed.

本文使用挪威移民儿童纵向研究的第一波（CILS-NOR）探索挪威移民青年的宗教适应。为了捕捉不同层面的宗教变化，我们区分以下两种情况：1）宗教信仰水平，通过宗教显着性和宗教实践衡量； 2）宗教信仰的社会形式，以规则取向和神学排他主义水平衡量。我们使用《世界价值调查》将挪威的移民青年与父母所在国家的青年进行了比较。然后，根据父母在挪威的居住时间，将挪威出生的移民青年与国外出生的移民进行比较。不出所料 来自西欧以外地区的移民青年，尤其是来自穆斯林国家的青年，比土著和西方青年更具宗教信仰，并且在宗教信仰上更注重规则和排他主义。但是，我们的研究结果表明，挪威的移民血统青年正在同时进行宗教衰落和宗教个性化的进程，尽管与穆斯林相比，穆斯林的这一进程似乎进展缓慢。移民青年的宗教信仰水平和社会形式与他们在其他领域的融合特别是种族间的友谊有部分联系。我们认为，关于接收的国家背景如何影响宗教适应的比较研究，
