Secularisation & Spirituality Research
The aim of the study is to explore the trajectories and dynamics of young adults (18 to 35 year olds) who were baptised in a church, but have abandoned their Christian faith in favour of a non-religious spirituality or secularisation; they might believe in God or not.

In the online interview that will be scheduled according to participant’s convenience, the participant is expected to answer a series of questions in an interactive […]
