The sociological study of youth religion is a growing field of research. This article is concerned with the nature of young people?s believing and belonging and its place in their everyday lives. It begins by considering the growth and sociological significance of increased religious diversity among young people. It goes on to explore the nature of belief and practice among young people who have a nominal or no religion identity. Significant in shaping both religious and non-religious young people?s attitudes and approach to religion is the cultural trend towards individualization and subjectivity. In this context the shift from religiosity to spirituality is considered.
