Since the articles by Pierre Bréchon, Siniša Zrinščak et Chantal Saint-Blancat are so rich, I am simply going to add two things: (1) first, to discuss how and why differences of age or generation have come to have a dominant effect on religion from the end of the 1960s in Western and, a little later apparently, in Eastern Europe, and (2) to clarify present-day religious changes among young people.
