How do Western Europeans feel about immigration and religion (mysmian)?

But Western Europeans depend on the country when it comes to having positive or negative views about migrants and religious minorities, according to an analysis of the Pew Research Centre.

To better examine the prevalence of these positions, the Centre created a degree to measure the level of nationalist, antimigration and anti-religious sentiment (NIM). The NIM scale combines the responses of 22 polling questions to a wide range of issues, including views on Muslims, Jews and immigrants, as well as immigration policy.

The results of the respondents were on the rise among those who think immigration in their country should be reduced; that they were unwilling to be neighbours or relatives with Muslims or Jews; that immigrants from certain regions are not honest or workers; that Islam is completely incompatible with their national culture and values; that birth in their country is important to being truly French <x0m> ”, the German “minus”, etc; and to express a similar sense. The higher the result, the more likely an respondents have expressed nationalist, anti-migration and anti-religious sentiments during the poll. Scores range from 0 to 10.

In Sweden, only 8% of respondents scored more than 5, the lowest in any country, while in Italy, 38% of them -- or, the largest share in any country. In most countries, the 5.01 or higher was between 15% and 25%. For example, in Norway and France, 19% of respondents scored 5.01 or more.

The NIM also provides an opportunity to consider whether factors such as age, political ideology or religious affiliation are related to these attitudes. Test finds:

The people who describe themselves as the right “)politically right” are more likely to mark in the degree of attitudes towards the nationalist minority, anti-imminator and anti-religious than those placed in the <x2 political “”. In most countries surveyed, the average result of those identified as right is at least 1.5 points higher than those identified as left. In Austria, for example, the average NIM grade is 3.3 in general, but 6.2 for those identified as right and 2.3 for those identified with the left.

In most countries surveyed, the average result of people who identify themselves as Christians is at least one point greater than the average value of impartial respondents. The biggest losses are in Denmark (where the average results of Christians are 1.9 points higher), Germany (1.8 points), France (1.7 points), and Italy (1.7 points). In Italy, for example, the average result for Christians is 4.5, compared with 2.8 for religious adults who are not believers.

In all surveyed countries, younger adults have lower average scores than older people. In Italy, for example, younger adults than 35 have a medium score NIM of 3.3, while old Italians have an average of 4.4. And in Denmark, younger adults have an average NIM score of 1.6, while for older Danish, the average score is 3.3.

While young people tend to score lower in the NIM, statistical analysis suggests that access to these factors in Western Europe has to do with little of their age and many of other factors such as religion and recognition of Muslims. For example, young Western Europeans are more likely to say that they personally know a Muslim and say they are unbelievers; both factors are closely linked to lower NIM indicators.
