Description
This survey is the Swedish part of the 1998 'International Social Survey Program'. ISSP is an ongoing program of cross-national collaboration. Formed in 1984, the group develops topical modules dealing with important areas of social science as supplements to regular national surveys. The topic of 1998 was 'Religion'.
In this survey the respondents had to give their opinions on different kinds of sexual relations; abortion; people living together without being married; and women working outside of home. The respondents were also asked about their believes about God, and if they believed in heaven, hell or religious miracles. They also had to describe their feelings about the Bible and answer questions about the meaning of life. A number of questions concerned the respondent's religious upbringing: religious preference of the parents, religion raised in, church attendance of parents and church attendance of the respondent in the age of 11-12. Questions about the present religious activities touched upon how often the respondent prays, takes part in religious activities, and how religious she/he
