- Abstract
- This study examines how secondary school students perceive different (non-) religious groups. Very few studies in this area consider how students’ attitudes are informed by contextual differences in school policies and differences in their religious affiliations. We investigate the role of multicultural teacher culture, schools’ religious diversity as well as their specific association with the religious attitudes of students from different (non-) religious groups. In addition, we explore how these relationships differ between two different regional policy contexts (Francophone and Flemish education in Belgium). The analysis of a quantitative SIS-dataset involving 3,789 students selected from 62 Belgian secondary schools showed that a) students organize their religious attitudes hierarchically, b) the effect of multicultural teaching on students’ religious attitudes is rather limited and c) that non-believing students respond differently to schools’ religious diversity than religious students. Implications of these results for future research are discussed.
