Within contemporary Western European academic, media, and
socio-political spheres, Muslims are predominantly seen through the
lens of increased religiosity. This religiosity is often seen as
problematic, especially in the context of securitised discourses of
Islamist terrorism. Yet, there are clear indications that a growing
number of people who grew up in Muslim families no longer subscribe
to Islam or call themselves religious at all. Drawing on fieldwork
in the UK and the Netherlands, this study examines the experiences
of people moving out of Islam. It rigorously questions the
antagonistic nature of the debate between 'the religious' and 'the
secular', or who is in and who is out, and argues for recognition
of the ambiguity that most of us live in. Revealing many complex
forms of moving out, this study adds much-needed nuance to
understandings of secularity and Muslim identities in Europe.
