Abstract
This chapter examines whether Muslims are more religious than non-Muslims and resistant to secularism. Using data from the World Values Survey (WVS) conducted in 1999–2004 and 2005–2008, it evaluates Muslims' personal religiosity (religious beliefs and practice) as well as popular attitudes toward religion and politics. It also considers how closely Muslims think religious and political authority should be aligned. More specifically, it analyzes whether Muslims believe that the clergy should have a role in politics. The chapter provides an overview of the WVS data and the religious composition of the survey's respondents.
