Περίληψη / Abstract:
This study explores what self-assigned religious identity as Church of Ireland means to sixth-form students living on the island of Ireland. Drawing on data contributed to the 2011 Greer survey on sixth-form religion by 327 self-identified Anglican students in Northern Ireland and by 288 in the Republic of Ireland, the salience of religious practices, religious beliefs, and moral values is compared between the two groups. The main conclusion drawn is that religious practice and religious belief is significantly more important to Anglican students in Northern Ireland than in the Republic of Ireland, suggesting that in the Republic of Ireland self-identification with the Church of Ireland may be of greater cultural significance (rather than religious significance) compared with Northern Ireland.
