THE IMPACTS OF THE AGE FACTOR ON RELIGIOSITY

Abstract

There is an important relationship between continuously fulfilling religious activities and age. Individuals involve religious activities more in their lives as they get older. Younger individuals feel more distant from death due to the feelings caused by their young age and chose to continuously fulfill their religious activities later. This study aims to examine the relationship between continuously fulfilling religious activities and age. In this context, the study evaluates whether or not individuals continuously fulfill their religious activities on the basis of the age factor. As a result of the study, it has been determined that advance age causes individuals to feel closer to death and consequently live a more religious life by continuously fulfilling religious activities.
