In this paper we make an attempt to identify these two religious types [seekers and dwellers] by using large-scale survey data and by applying two different approaches: 1. Using a simple logical approach that took a number of variables into account, we created the following four groups and established their main characteristics: “seeker only,” dweller only,” “both seeker and dweller” and “neither seeker, nor dweller.” 2. Using basically the same variables as in the first procedure, we employed cluster analysis, rather than a “manual method,” in order to identify “real” groups based on their similarity on religious issues. Unlike in the first approach, this method does not ensure by default the empirical reproduction of the typology of Wuthnow and Taylor. Therefore, one of our main questions here is, whether an exploratory empirical classification leads to groups that are similar to or even identical with those created in the first stage of our analysis.
