Abstract

Religiosity is one of the most challenging theoretical categories in social sciences. How it is grasped and presented is strongly related to social ontology which determines the perspective for studying religion in society. In this article, I present two different theoretical approaches to religiosity. First framed by Rational Choice Theory was inspired by Adam Smith and later developed especially by American sociologists of religion. The second vision of religiosity is built upon Critical Realism and elaborated by Roy Bhaskar and later developed especially by Margaret Archer. I present how from such a perspective religiosity could be defined and presented. My intention is to highlight that realist understanding of religiosity is especially promising for studying religious socialisation. In realist perspective, religiosity represents dynamic category essentially related to human subjectivity and reflexivity.
