Religious Identity Studies

Religious identity studies is an interdisciplinary field of academic inquiry that investigates the processes by which individuals and groups form, express, negotiate, and maintain religious identity. It examines the complex interplay between religious beliefs, practices, social contexts, psychological factors, and cultural dynamics in shaping how religion is understood and lived as a component of self and collective belonging.
