Committed-Consensual Measures

One of the most important aspects of religion is the religious ceremonies.

I try hard to carry my religion over into all my other dealings in life.

My ideas about religion are one of the most important parts of my philosophy of life.

Religion is most real to me during my attendance at public church or religious services.

I do not think that the sequences of prayers, songs, etc., is very important in religious services.

Quite often I have been keenly aware of the presence of God or the Divine Being.

Every person needs to have the feeling of security given by a church.

Tender concern for others is a means of finding joy in one's religion.

The more a religious service is ritualized the more it has meaning for me.

The purpose of prayer is to secure a happy and peaceful life.

The truly religious person believes honestly and wholeheartedly in the doctrines of his church.

My interest in and real commitment to religion is greater now than when I first joined the church.

Religion is a subject in which I am not particularly interested.

It is important to me to spend periods of time in private thought and meditation.

The ritual of worship is a very important part of religion.

My religious beliefs are what really lie behind my whole approach to life.

I like to think that people all over are going through nearly the same ritual in their religious worship.

I think that the placement and treatment of the various articles of worship is very important in a worship service.

I often think about matters relating to religion.

Believing as I do about religion is very important to being the kind of person I want to be.

The precision and orderliness with which religious ceremonies are performed is important.

Religion is especially important to me because it answers many questions about the meaning of life.

It is important to me that religious services be standardized.

If my ideas about religion were different, I believe that my way of life would be very different.

The aim of missionaries should be to establish church buildings where religious services and ceremonies can be conducted.

I read literature about my faith or church.
