Brief module content: This module examines key sociological issues and debates in relation to religion/spirituality and non-religious belief systems. These include: diverse perspectives on religion/spirituality, transformation of religion, the spiritual revolution, fundamentalism, new media, young people and religion/spirituality, gender and religious dress, religion/spirituality and sexuality, atheism, secularism, humanism, scientism, freedom of expression vs. sanctity of religion.
