Issues Today: Religion and Faith

Two thirds of people worldwide are religious, but less than one third of Brits are – just three in ten people said they were religious. This book looks at religion today and how religious views differ in society and the impact this can have. Key topics covered include religious freedom, looking at the worst and best countries for religious freedom, how religious education is tackled in the classroom and even the future of religion.
