Spirituality
Spirituality covers it all...religion, tradition, faith and beliefs.
Ireland today is a diverse and exciting mix of religions and cultures.
You might have been brought up to believe in one particular faith, you might have discovered religion for yourself or you might not follow any particular religion but want to know what all the fuss is about.
This section talks about why we should learn to love diversity, the main religions in Ireland and we hear YOUR opinion on mixed religion relationships.
Religion and YOU:
"Yes, I believe in God, but I don't go to mass to often. I try to pray as much
as I can". - James, 24
"I was never brought up with any religious beliefs, so I don't really believe
in God, or anything else, I just live life and see what happens". - Claire, 18
"I was brought up as a Catholic but never pushed into going to mass or praying. I believe in God but not with the practices of the Catholic church and their attitudes to stuff like women priests, abortion, divorce and so on. I think they need to modernise A LOT if they want to get young people to return to their faith". - Jenny, 25
"No, I don't believe in any of it. The Church was and still is a way to give power and richness to certain people. Why would any God support that"? - Mark, 19
"Yes, my mother and granny brought me up to go to mass and pray. It has definitely helped me through some really tough times".- Sinead, 21
"No, I'm not very religious, well I do believe there's a God, but going to
mass really annoys me. I don't like the way it is practiced".- Mari-Sophie 27
"I practice Buddhism, it's really helping me to find myself".- Hannah, 21
"Some of the catholic rules are a bit strict. I am Christian but I don't believe in not having sex before marriage. I don't believe in not using contraception either". - Jane, 23
