Аннотация

В исследовании рассматриваются мотивы, побуждающие современную молодёжь к религиозной приверженности как в вероисповеданию, так и в практике. В условиях стремительных социальных изменений, глобализации, цифровизации и трансформации культурных ценностей религия продолжает играть значительную роль в формировании идентичности молодых людей и понимание ими своего предназначения. В исследовании использовались научные методы контент-анализ и анализ данных. Контент-анализ использовался для изучение религиозного дискуса, онлайн-материалов и интервью, а анализ данных - для обработки результатов опроса и выявления закономерностей. В результате были выявлены основные мотивирующие факторы, в том числе поиск смысла, влияние семьи и принадлежности. Исследование подчеркивает как индивидуальные, так и социокультурные факторы формирования идентичности молодежи. Результаты исследования полезны педагогам, религиозным лидерам, социологам и специалистам и молодым людям. Результат исследования подчеркивают как личностные, так как социокультурные аспекты религиозной активности молодежи. Исследование вносит вклад в углубление академического понимания роли религии в жизненной траектории молодых поколений и предлагает ценные идеи для социальной интеграции.
