      ABSTRACT

      This chapter focuses on data arising from focus groups discussions with young people in British schools, drawing out how they defined their (non-)religious identities and understood (non-)belief, in relation to the social contexts in which they were embedded. It describes the project on Young People's Attitudes to Religious Diversity' within which the data reported were collected. Young people's views reflect the various aspects of diversity outlined in terms of their own backgrounds and in terms of their views and perspectives. There was great variety in young people's family, school and community backgrounds and the degree to which religious belief and practice played or did not play a part in their lives. There was acknowledgement that for those with a religion, certain aspects belief in God, community worship, regular practice of prayer, diet, tithing/giving zakat made for difference, compared to those who did not have a religion, and that having a religion provided guidance, direction and solace in difficult times.
