ABSTRACT
This chapter aims to profile the worldview of young people who claim no religious affiliation. It sets alongside this group of religiously unaffiliated young people those who claim Anglican affiliation but never attend church. The chapter provides into account three categories of churchgoing Anglicans: those who attend occasionally but not frequently enough to count as active churchgoers; those who attend more than occasionally but less than weekly; and those who attend most weeks. Employing the notion of belonging without believing, Francis and Robbins demonstrated how Anglican atheists differ in aspects of their worldview from unaffiliated atheists. Believing without practising Anglican adolescent males held significantly more conventional Christian beliefs in life after death. The religious, social and personal significance of these four Anglican identities among young people will be tested on data being assembled by a new project designed to bring up to date the earlier survey reported by Francis.
