The data presented are taken from the Second National Survey of Religious Beliefs and Attitudes in Argentina, which was conducted on a multi-stage sample of 2421 cases in 89 districts throughout the country. Opinions about the end of life include positions in favor of performing euthanasia, requesting life extension through life support technologies and leaving death to the will of God. Religious beliefs and affiliations prove to be determining variables in the positions taken by Argentine citizens regarding the end of life, death and euthanasia. Furthermore, among those without any religious affiliation, positions of autonomy over their bodies stand out, in the directions of both prolonging their lives and bringing them to an end, which means that their support of euthanasia can be assumed. The data presented here intend to contribute to the planning of health policies in relation to the end-of-life process. The different views on this process or, in other words, the beliefs, values and needs of patients and their families have a unique relevance that must be considered in the organization of care settings in end-of-life contexts.

This is a universe that has grown exponentially in the region and worldwide, but has been little explored by the social sciences of religion in Latin America. The research was based on the Second National Survey on Religious Beliefs and Attitudes in Argentina, carried out in 2019. The study universe was made up of the population of the Argentine Republic aged 18 years or more, living in localities or urban agglomerations with at least 5,000 inhabitants. A total of 2421 cases were selected through a multistage sampling. The analysis of the data reveals that it would be inaccurate to say that the religiously unaffiliated do not convey religious beliefs. Almost 3 out of 10 -most of those who responded do not belong to any religion but neither defined themselves as agnostics or atheists- believe in God and in Jesus Christ. Given that they are the most numerous sub-group and with the highest growth rate within the religiously unaffiliated, it would be unwise to consider this fringe of the Argentine citizenry as a-religious. Nor can we unify them under the category of disaffiliates. Although 6 out of 10 have a history identified with some religion -and in those cases it is indeed possible to observe a process of religious disaffiliation-, the remaining 40% show paths defined by the alienation from the institutionalised religious spaces since their earliest age.

In this way, the beliefs and practices of the Roman Catholic and evangelical populations are analyzed, as well as those of the population with no institutional religious affiliations. In this paper, we propose to start from the dissimilar religious intensities and the varied configuration of the link with the religious institution evidenced by individuals in Argentina to form four strata, regardless of religious affiliations. From the multivariate model of multiple correspondences on the dataset of Mallimaci, Esquivel, Giménez Béliveau & Irrazábal (2019) Second National Survey on Religious Beliefs and Attitudes in Argentina; we have developed four profiles of religiosity —a committed core, practitioners, peripheral participants and non-participants— that cross Christian religious denominations. Characterizing and analyzing the four profiles both in terms of religious beliefs and attitudes and in relation to a range of issues on the public agenda (abortion, sex education, gender, religious education in public schools, immigration and social assistance policies), will allow us to identify emerging features that define the socio-cultural patterns present in Argentine society today.

El trabajo focaliza la mirada en las controversias semánticas entabladas por el Ministerio de Educación de la República Argentina y la Conferencia Episcopal, una vez aprobada la Ley Nacional de Educación Sexual Integral en 2006.

Nuestros GTs son uno de los espacios privilegiados para esa propuesta y, al mismo tiempo, se consolidan como un momento fructífero para el contacto entre los/as investigadores/as y su producción. En diversas ocasiones hemos expresado la necesidad de hacer de los GTs fórums permanentes de discusión activa. De esta manera se garantiza la continuidad de la discusión académica entre una Jornada y otra, estimulando los análisis comparativos y enriqueciendo los abordajes temáticos que son trabajados en cada Grupo de Trabajo, con vistas hacia el próximo encuentro. El contacto permanente entre los/as investigadores/as interesados/as en una temática, facilitaría el intercambio continuo, benefician-do el trabajo que se realiza en los encuentros presenciales. Atendiendo esa preocupación, la Comisión Directiva y el Consejo de la ACSRM ha decidido lanzar la convocatoria para la conformación de Virtual GTs. ¿Qué es un GT virtual? Es una modalidad virtual que la ACSRM ofrece a los/as investigadores/as asociados/as para crear y coordinar sus propios GTs, en tiempo real, como un recurso adicional para consolidar sus vínculos con colegas de otros países miembros de la ACSRM-u otros países asociados-con quienes comparten líneas de investigación similares. ¿Que se propone el GT virtual? Incentivar a los/as asociados/as a hacer de este espacio colectivo, una herramienta dinámica desde la cual intercambien infor-maciones, avances de investigación, propongan estudios comparativos y discutan expectativas. El Virtual GT busca consolidar la discusión científica hacia la construcción de líneas de investigación conjuntas entre colegas de los países miembros y/o asociados. ¿Qué hacer para crear un GT virtual? Se requiere vincularse por lo menos con un/a asociado/a de otro país y completar el formulario. Formular de forma clara y sucinta los objetivos y las actividades previstas para ser realizadas en línea dentro del período 2016-2018. Apoyos e incentivos para los coordinadores del GT virtual La ACSRM colaborará con los/as coordinadores/as del Virtual GT, proporcionando los contactos de los participantes de GTs de Jorna-das anteriores, en caso de ser requerido. Se entregará un certificado emitido por la ACSRM a los/as coordinadores/as e integrantes de los Virtual GTs. Los miembros de los Virtual GTs tendrán un beneficio en la inscripción a las próximas Jornadas de la ACSRM que se realizarán en Santiago de Chile en 2018. (El mismo se anunciará en el momento de la inscripción a las mismas). Damos a conocer la composición de los Virtual GTs, así como su producción conjunta, a traves de este boletín.

The research was based on the Second National Survey on Religious Beliefs and Attitudes in Argentina, carried out in 2019. The study universe was made up of the population of the Argentine Republic aged 18 years or more, living in localities or urban agglomerations with at least 5,000 inhabitants. A total of 2421 cases were selected through a multistage sampling.
