Religiosity of an individual is depicted through the participation in congregational
events. Such participation encourages production of social capital. Informal networks
like family, peers and neighborhood are important production sources of social capital
and are also prime sources to introduce religious teachings. The sources of social
capital and religiosity are same. Therefore, the current paper examines the role of
social capital in developing religiosity among youth. The qualitative study was
conducted using purposive sampling. The sample is comprised of educated youth of
Lahore. Twenty five in-depth interviews and 3 FGDs were conducted from an
educational institution. The data analysis was done through themes and narratives.
The findings suggest that the culture, environment and family are important
contributors in the production of religiosity. Moreover, the labeling plays vital role in
encouraging or discouraging religiosity. Conclusively the religious practices have lost
spirituality and are becoming more superficial day by day.
