Abstract
This article presents the findings of a two-year research project investigating four hundred third-level Initial Teacher Education (ite) studentsâ perceptions of the religiously unaffiliated in Ireland. The research was undertaken in two Third Level Catholic colleges of education in the Republic of Ireland (roi). A brief overview of some contemporary cultural, educational and ecclesial factors impacting on participantsâ lived experiences and perceptions of Catholicism is provided. Irish society is changing rapidly and the religiously unaffiliated are the fastest growing belief group in the 2016 Census (cso 2016). A major part of the research focuses on the religious or belief affiliation of the sample group. It explores how participantsâ personal religious and convictional perspectives impact on their own lives as well as their understandings of their future professional roles as educators in Irelandâs primary school system. Drawing on the research survey and interview data the article explores participantsâ belief fluidity which blends belief in Roman Catholicism with belief in crystals, chakras, reincarnation, gods, and magic among others. The researchers analyses what these findings might reveal about lived Catholicism in the contemporary Irish context.
