This paper examines the relationship between religious diversity, religious and national identity, and neighbourhood trust. Using data from 6,089 individuals in England matched to census-based statistical estimates for 300 local areas, we find that religious diversity is negatively associated with neighbourhood trust. Further analyses tested indirect relationships between religious diversity and neighbourhood trust to examine whether higher levels of religious diversity are associated with a stronger sense of religious identity, and whether a stronger sense of religious identity is associated with lower levels of neighbourhood trust. We simultaneously tested whether higher levels of religious diversity are associated with a weaker sense of national identity, and whether a weaker sense of national identity is associated with lower neighbourhood trust. Multigroup analyses were conducted to assess patterns across religious groups. Results indicate that, for Christians, religious diversity is associated with a stronger subordinate religious identification, which is in turn associated with lower neighbourhood trust. There were no associations between religious diversity, national identification, and neighbourhood trust. For the other religious groups, no significant associations were found between our variables of interest. We discuss the relevance and implication of increasing religious diversity in societies for the multiple groups involved.

本文研究了宗教多样性，宗教和民族身份以及邻里信任之间的关系。使用来自英格兰6,089名个人的数据与基于普查的300个地方统计估计值相匹配，我们发现宗教多样性与邻里信任度负相关。进一步的分析测试了宗教多样性和邻里信任之间的间接关系，以检查较高级别的宗教多样性是否与较强的宗教身份感相关联，以及较强的宗教身份是否与较低级别的邻里信任度相关联。我们同时测试了较高的宗教多样性是否与较弱的民族认同感相关联，以及较弱的民族认同感是否与较低的邻里信任度有关。进行了多组分析以评估各个宗教团体的模式。结果表明，对于基督徒来说，宗教多样性与更强的从属宗教认同有关，而宗教认同又与较低的邻里信任有关。宗教多样性，民族认同和邻里信任之间没有关联。对于其他宗教团体，我们感兴趣的变量之间没有发现显着关联。我们讨论了社会中宗教多元化对涉及的多个群体的相关性和含义。宗教多样性与更强的从属宗教认同有关，反过来又与较低的邻里信任有关。宗教多样性，民族认同和邻里信任之间没有关联。对于其他宗教团体，我们感兴趣的变量之间没有发现显着关联。我们讨论了社会中宗教多元化对涉及的多个群体的相关性和含义。宗教多样性与更强的从属宗教认同有关，反过来又与较低的邻里信任有关。宗教多样性，民族认同和邻里信任之间没有关联。对于其他宗教团体，我们感兴趣的变量之间没有发现显着关联。我们讨论了社会中宗教多元化对涉及的多个群体的相关性和含义。
