Using data from the two most recent waves of the World Values Survey (1999-2004, 2005-2009) this article seeks to explain this variance by means of a multi-level analysis of 79 countries. We include characteristics on the individual level, as age or gender, as well as aggregate variables linked to specificities of the nation-states. In particular, we focus on the religious denomination of a person and her religiosity in order to explain her attitude towards homosexuality. We find clear differences in levels of homonegativity among the followers of the individual religions}, keywords = {Homosexualität; homosexuality; Einstellung; attitude; religiöse Faktoren; religious factors; Religiosität; religiousness; internationaler Vergleich; international comparison; demographische Faktoren; demographic factors; geschlechtsspezifische Faktoren; gender-specific factors}}
