Abstract

Between 2020-2022, the Sociological Research Center LARICS – ISPRI has managed an already extensive project of sociological investigation of religiosity, and attitudes and opinions related to or based on religion, specific to the Romanian public. All this has triggered a consistent scientific and public debate. The article below is an attempt to respond to a number of elements of this debate. After all, there is a methodological problem at stake, which is significant since the design of the data collection tool in the case of such a theme. Axiological neutrality is hard to define when we study religious beliefs, as long as being religious and refusing religiosity are both value options, and both sociologically legitimate today. The following pages represent a conceptual navigation, from legal to sociological, among the nuances of complex terms, which you can find in the list of key concepts presented immediately below.
