How is religion, particularly non-Christianness, conceptualised and
represented in English law? What is the relationship between
religion, race, ethnicity and culture in these conceptualisations?
What might be the socio-political effects of conceptualising
religion in particular ways? This book addresses these key
questions in two areas of law relating to children. The first case
study focuses on child welfare cases and reveals how the boundaries
between race and theological notions of religion as belief and
practice are blurred. Non-Christians are also often perceived as
uncivilized but also, at times, racial otherness can be erased and
assimilated. The second examines religion in education and the
increasing focus on 'common values'. It demonstrates how
non-Christian faith schools are deemed as in need of regulation,
while Christian schools are the benchmark of good citizenship. In
addition, values discourse and citizenship education provide a
means to 'de-racialise' non-Christian children in the ongoing
construction of the nation. Central to this analysis is a focus on
religion as a socio-political, contingent, fluid and invented
concept.
