Abstract

The changing religious landscape of the Republic of Ireland is reflected in lower levels of religious practice and in increasing levels of non-belief. This study examines the personal, social and spiritual correlates of atheism among adolescent males (13- to 15-years of age) by comparing the views of 286 atheists with the views of 719 theists across ten domains: religious belief, belief in transcendence, belief in science, evolution and creation, personal wellbeing, cultural diversity, respect for religion, signs of religious diversity, influences on views about religion, and importance of religion. The data demonstrate the significant personal, social and spiritual differences between male adolescent theists and atheists in Ireland.
