Abstract
THEORIES of need-fulfilling functions of religion should expect a relationship between anomie and religious participation. But Keedy found that anomie was inversely correlated with religious participation,' and Bell found that when socio-economic status was controlled, there was no significant difference in anomie score between religious and nonreligious individuals.2 Both used the Srole scale to measure anomie. This study reports results, using two other measures of anomie, confirming Bell's findings of no relationship. It also reports a curvilinear relationship between a measure of powerlessness and religious participation.
