In recent years, controversial issues related to religion or
belief, discrimination, equality and human rights have come to the
fore, especially in the context of public debates around
multiculturalism following the 'social policy shock' created by the
impact of violent religious extremism. For example should there be
restrictions on what people can wear in the work place based on
their religious identity? Should religious organizations be exempt
from aspects of equalities legislation which are not in line with
their beliefs and values? How should non-religious identities be
recognized? In the context of increasing cultural and religion or
belief diversity, it is vitally important for the future to
understand the nature and extent of discrimination and unfair
treatment on the grounds of religion or belief, and to assess the
adequacy of policies, practices and laws designed to tackle this.
This includes the overlap of religion or belief identities with
other aspects of people's identity including characteristics such
as age, disability, race, sex and sexual orientation which can also
be legally protected. This volume is a benchmark publication on
religion, discrimination and equality. It includes data and
insights derived from the fieldwork, focus groups and questionnaire
survey of a recent national research project in Britain. Its
analysis presents a unique insight into continuity and change in
people's reported experience over a decade of equalities
legislation and political and social change of unfair treatment on
the basis of religion or belief. Grounded in empirical and
contextualized data, its findings are placed in the context of
European and international human rights law. Its findings will be
of special interest to both scholars and practitioners working in
the specific fields of education, employment, the media, criminal
justice and immigration, housing, health care, social services, and
funding, as well as in the broader fields of religion or belief,
the law and public policy.
