Abstract
This study explores the association between attitude toward political rights, self-assigned religious affiliation (Christian, Muslim, and unaffiliated), religious experience, religious saliency and interreligious openness among a sample of 1058 students between the ages of 14 and 18 years in England and Wales, after taking into account personal factors, psychological factors, and home environment factors. While religious saliency and interreligious openness both predicted a more positive attitude toward political rights, after taking these attitudinal factors into account self-assigned religious affiliation (both Christian and Muslim) predicted a less positive attitude toward political rights. Before taking religious saliency and interreligious openness into account self-assigned religious affiliation as Muslim showed a positive effect and self-assigned religious affiliation as Christian showed no effect. This finding highlights the fallacy of discussing self-assigned religious affiliation independently of distinguishing the religious saliency and style of such affiliation.
