Резюме	The Glock-Stark framework, set out in Charles Glock and Rodney Stark's 1965 Religion and Society in Tension, recast religiosity from a single global trait into five analytically distinct dimensions of religious commitment: belief (ideological), practice (ritualistic), experience (experiential), knowledge (intellectual), and consequences (the effects of religion on everyday conduct). The core claim is that an individual can rank high on one dimension and low on another, so a one-number measure of 'how religious' someone is conceals more than it reveals. Operationally, each dimension is tapped by its own cluster of survey items, scaled separately, and the correlations among the dimensions are themselves an object of study. This multidimensional measurement model became the template for nearly all later psychometric work on religiousness.	The Centrality of Religiosity Scale (CRS), developed by Stefan Huber and Odilo Huber and consolidated in their 2012 paper, measures how central the religious meaning system is within an individual's personality. It operationalizes five core dimensions drawn from the Glock-Stark tradition — intellect, ideology, public practice, private practice, and religious experience — and treats them as indicators of a single higher-order construct, the centrality of religiosity. The CRS comes in interchangeable 15-, 10-, and 7-item versions, yields both dimension scores and an overall centrality score, and supports a simple three-level classification of respondents as not religious, religious, or highly religious. Designed for cross-cultural and interreligious use, it has become one of the most widely applied general religiosity measures in contemporary survey research.
