摘要：The topic of non-religiosity among migrants of Turkish origin is often overshadowed by debates of Islam and
integration, although Turkey has a long history of non-religious, secular positions. The present study found in a representative
survey among migrants of Turkish origin in Germany (N = 1201, 51.5 % male) that 12.4 % consider themselves as ‘little
religious’ or ‘non-religious’ and additional 10.3 % as ‘neither religious nor non-religious’, whereby the latter group takes a
religious middle position. In contrast to highly religious migrants of Turkish origin, it could be shown that patriarchalauthoritarian
and endogame family structures take important key functions in the religious, esp. Muslim socialization.
Furthermore, non-religiosity and acculturation strategies are related to each other; however, belonging to the first versus
second/third generation of migrants has a much stronger impact on acculturation. Finally, acculturation of less or non-religious
individuals is emphasized as an important future topic of migration research.
