No presente artigo, analisamos as representações, valores e práticas relativas às identidades religiosas das populações dos Açores e da Madeira, estabelecendo algumas comparações com um estudo similar relativo a Portugal continental. Num primeiro momento são escrutinadas, no conjunto das posições religiosas, variáveis como o género, escolaridade, situação socioprofissional e localidade de residência, juntamente com uma série doutros indicadores da biografia crente: transmissão parental, cumprimento de preceitos religiosos, fatores de afastamento/proximidade, interlocuções quotidianas, práticas orantes, participação a atos de cultos, configuração das crenças, atitudes e valores. Cerca de 90% dos residentes nos territórios insulares declaram ser católicos. É precisamente em torno desta população crente que nos concentraremos, num segundo momento, partindo duma classificação tipológica gradativa segundo a prática: católicos nominais, ocasionais, irregulares, regulares, observantes e militantes.
The present article analyses representations, values and practices relating to religious identities among the populations of the Azores islands and Madeira, establishing certain comparisons with a similar study undertaken in mainland Portugal. We begin, taking an overall view of religious positions, with a scrutiny of socio-demographic variables such as gender, level of education and socio-professional situation together with a series of other indicators that constitute the believer’s profile: parental transmission, fulfilling of religious precepts, factors leading to distancing or approximation, daily interchanges, practices of prayer, participation in services, configuration of beliefs, attitudes and values. Roughly 90% of residents living on the islands consider themselves Catholics. It is precisely on this believing population that we subsequently focus, taking as a starting point a graduated typological classification according to practice: Catholics that are nominally so, occasional, irregular, regular, practising and militant.
