Yves Lambert — Wikipedia

Yves Lambert , born the 16 mars 1946 in Marsais (Charente-Maritime) and died on August 28, 2006 , is a French sociologist, specialized in the sociology of religions.

An agricultural engineer, a graduate in sociology, Yves Lambert began his career in 1971 by leaning on the sociology of the rural world at the National Institute of Agronomic Research. He became director of research there in 1985. The same year, he published a thesis under the title “God changes in Brittany” which has become a classic of the sociology of religions, showing the importance of religious phenomena and their changes during the second half of the XX ^{It is} century through an “ethnosociology of ordinary Catholicism” applied to a Breton locality.

Following this work, Yves Lambert more systematically deepens the beliefs and practices of young generations, becoming the undisputed French specialist in European surveys on values. Combining qualitative analysis and quantitativist expertise, he compares simultaneous developments in different countries. Now devoting himself essentially to the sociology of religions, he chaired the French Association of Religious Sociology (AFSR) from 1992 to 1998. He joined the CNRS in 1993 and, in 1995, linked to the mixed EPHE-CNRS research group in Sociology of religions and secularism founded by Jean Baubérot (the GSRL laboratory). He specializes in the evolution of religious beliefs and practices and establishes research and comparison tools in order to measure this evolution.
