Life & Faith: Identity Complex
While statistics suggest that religion is
in decline across most of the West, being irreligious is perhaps more complex
than it seems.
In the UK, for example, only 25 per cent of
people who claim to have “no religion” are atheists or agnostics – but even
within this group there is a mix of spirituality and beliefs.
“Plurality and diversity define who we
are,” Elizabeth Oldfield, Director of Theos, said at a recent public lecture in
Sydney. “Many people would like to believe, and belong, but they don't know
how.”
In this episode of ‘Life & Faith’,
Elizabeth takes us on a tour of the religious landscape in the UK and Europe,
and how the West’s religious identity is more complex than we think.

Theos, a leading religion and society think tank in the UK. To find out more
