Abstract
This chapter draws on both qualitative and quantitative data arising from the three-year project ‘Young People’s Attitudes towards Religious Diversity’ (2009-2012), which was based in the Warwick Religions and Education Research Unit (WRERU) at the University of Warwick. (In order to avoid repeating the full title of the project throughout the chapter, I shall refer to it in its shorter form, as the ‘Diversity Project’.) The Diversity Project sought to explore the attitudes of 13-16-year-old pupils across the United Kingdom towards religious diversity. Using data collected in focus group discussions and from a quantitative survey of almost 12,000 young people, the chapter reports perceptions and attitudes towards material expressions of religious belonging or adherence. The notion of ‘material expression’ is understood here in terms of any physical, tangible or embodied indication of lived religion, in this case including religious symbols (e.g. the cross for Christians, the kara for Sikhs), religious clothing (e.g. the turban for Sikhs, the hijab, niqab or burka for Muslims) and observance of particular requirements, such as dietary rules.
