Abstract

The domestic and foreign approaches to selection of indicators of religiosity are analyzed in this article. Taking into aacount that religion is considered by both domestic and foreign sociologists of religion as a complex multidimensional concept, at its operationalization it is proposed to use the generally accepted concept that displays measurements of religiosity («dimension of religiosity»); remaining identical concepts – components, types – should be used within the quantitative method of integration of religious indicators. Thus, we can define the following integral indicators of religiosity – dimensions of religiosity, composite components of religiosity, types of religiosity; they also reflect the content aspect of religion. Taking int oaccount the values of the intensity and extensity, the specific of manifestations of intensity of certain religious indicators, it is possiible to distiguish a number of simple indicators – intensity, centrality, frequency and level, respectively
