Abstract

This chapter explores the nature of religiosity among young people in Australia and Thailand. In so doing, it reflects on how the nature of religiosity relates to the broader cultural landscape. It will argue that the forms that religion takes reflects not only the broader cultural framework, but the ways that specific religions interacts with the social and cultural framework.
