Have cultural motives behind voting choice become more important in West European politics? Well, not moral traditionalism as its relevance for religious and conservative voting decreased in the last 4 decades. All because of religious decline!
🧵
And if you are curious about other effects of secularization on cultural politics in Western Europe, here is our other article:

Sad and ironic how so many sanctions won't hurt Putin's regime but will do exactly the opposite and support it. Canceling independent social surveys in Russia is def no threat to the regime. If Putin himself is likely to ban something, perhaps it's not a sanction at all?
@ESS_Survey has banished europeansocialsurvey.org/abo… Russia’s participation. I get the emotions, but I think it may be bad for ESS, for the EU, as well as for European and predominantly liberal anti-dictatorship Russian social scientists. Here is why -> a thread 1/5

1. The divide between religious and secular Europeans over moral issues (abortion, euthanasia…) shrinks between 1981 and 2008
2. At the same time, the divide between the high- and low-educated over immigration, and law and order only gets wider!
Just received a published book with our chapter on cultural value divides in Eastern Europe… which turned into ‘EASTER EUROPE’ in the title of the chapter! I guess it’s just the season LOL
What can I say? Happy Easter, Europe!
Monthly seminars during the lockdown provide an amazing opportunity to observe how your colleagues grow more and more HAIR. With hairdressers being closed for months, there is a point when you can't ignore the hair topic anymore and just dive into 'cultural sociology of HAIR'

@lucaozzano, Emma Rosenberg, and I are organizing a panel on "Christianity and Populism" at the @ECPR general conference. We call for papers that examine the growing involvement of Christians in contemporary right-wing populist movement around the globe.
