Results reveal that religious Christian individuals who express a strong level of Christian religious practice display less paranormal belief and engage in less paranormal practice than Christian non-practitioners. Since the instrument used in a previous study by Joseph O. Baker, Christopher Bader and F. Carson Mencken may not have accurately measured the multi-dimensional content of paranormal belief (or separately, the physical and meta-physical constructs of paranormal experience) we reassessed the bounded affinity theory using an alternative instrument, with findings generally supporting the previous assumptions of the theory. Study results suggest that strong levels of religious practice significantly diminished belief in a variety of paranormal belief dimensions, and entities, but not all of them. This article addresses this issue applying a Durkheimian approach and provides a more detailed and nuanced support for the bounded affinity theory. It differentiates the beliefs gained from current church attendance (ongoing religious rituals) and past church attendance (formative rituals), which would have socialised Christian believers who are not currently churchgoers through their formative rituals.","PeriodicalId":45190,"journal":{"name":"Culture and Religion","volume":"21 1","pages":"298 - 312"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45707461","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It embraces an open framework and employs personal experience that highlights the problems with self-understanding. Astrology may appear detached from its traditional religious foundation and has struggled for cultural legitimacy, but it offers a spiritual understanding, self-knowledge and self-determination. It divines a range of symbolic possibilities that encourages elective biography and instructs the project of self-identity. This in part assuages the existential need to find meaning, questioning established thinking and ‘rational’ cultural practices. Astrology embeds a spiritual outlook that co-exists with profane individualism and materiality highlighting dissonant modernity.","PeriodicalId":45190,"journal":{"name":"Culture and Religion","volume":"21 1","pages":"259 - 279"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49237114","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We argue that these three religious features are related to people’s agency and can have impact on personal and community wellbeing. The data that support the analysis come from a case study in Buenos Aires based on two sources: 1. A questionnaire applied to a representative sample of Buenos Aires slum inhabitants. 2. In-depth interviews of women living in poor settlements. The theoretical discussions link the concept of popular religiosity as it is being addressed in Latin America, with approaches that emphasises agency. The main argument is that the bodily, emotonal, and relational aspects of religion, framed within a cosmological and holistic cultural matrix, shape poor people’s agency with positive outcomes.","PeriodicalId":45190,"journal":{"name":"Culture and Religion","volume":"21 1","pages":"242 - 258"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47726917","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It looks at the role of new religious intellectuals in addressing the shrinking Muslim presence in the public sphere in urban India through newer styles of religious leadership embedded in a broader understanding of the religious imagination itself. These new religious intellectuals among the Muslim poor I argue see the role of secular education coupled with a religious imagination as essential in order to protect one’s self interests as a Muslim yet be integral to a larger and diverse public. Islamic knowledge and behavioural conduct combined with secular education is hence seen as a way of fashioning the lives of the modern Muslim subject. By describing and analysing how universalistic principles of Islam have been realised in the local context of a Mumbai slum, this article illustrates how, embracing modernity emanating from Islamic values is seen as a way of refashioning the Muslim self.","PeriodicalId":45190,"journal":{"name":"Culture and Religion","volume":"21 1","pages":"222 - 241"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49668524","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Despite this important work, ideas about Muslims in general and Muslim women in particular seem particularly resistant to counter evidence. The essay employs work on epistemic injustice to develop an account of the persistence of negative attitudes towards Muslims. Connecting research on testimonial injustice and epistemologies of ignorance, I argue that epistemic injustice can help explain the epistemic significance of visible manifestations of Islam for white, European forms of knowing.","PeriodicalId":45190,"journal":{"name":"Culture and Religion","volume":"21 1","pages":"280 - 297"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42370711","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Legal custom has been key in shaping localised Islamic interpretations towards cultural practices and activities. The indispensable role of custom is evident in the modern context where it has played a significant role in modern Islamic jurisprudence in the process of formulating law in response to new practices and norms. In an attempt to map the significance of custom in the Islamic legal framework, we will present a discussion on the divergent Islamic legal perspectives on yoga. In using yoga as a case study, this paper will first discuss the debates surrounding the status of yoga in the contemporary Islamic world. We will then look at how the legal framework around the role of custom shapes the discourse regarding yoga and its permissibility for Muslims. We argue these religious verdicts are shaped by socio-political and economic factors including whether Muslims have been introduced to yoga by Hindu citizens or through its commercialised form. Finally, we end the article by discussing the emergence of an ‘Islamic Yoga’, which is a product of utilising custom as a mediated legal tool.","PeriodicalId":45190,"journal":{"name":"Culture and Religion","volume":"21 1","pages":"199 - 214"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-04-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/14755610.2021.1923539","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46589157","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The call of legalising same-sex marriage began in 2013, along with the emergence of the Christian-led pro-family movement. Religious backlash came to its peak in 2013 and successfully gained politicians’ and public’s support to fight against same-sex marriages and LGBT-inclusive gender equity education. The rhetoric device of the pro-family movement in Taiwan can be connected to rhetoric devices of pro-family and anti-gender movements across the globe. By analysing the narrative of two Christian newspapers, Chinese Christian Tribune and Christian Daily, this article points out three perspectives that made up the picture of Confucian apocalypse. In this article, the concept of ‘Confucian apocalypse’ is used to illustrate the process of indigenisation of global pro-family and anti-gender movements in Taiwan where the Christian population is around 5.5%.","PeriodicalId":45190,"journal":{"name":"Culture and Religion","volume":"21 1","pages":"139 - 156"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-04-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/14755610.2021.1906726","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48802488","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We contribute by examining the presence of paranormal, superstitious, magical, and supernatural (PSMS) beliefs and a sense of immanent moral structure to the world among a substantial minority (34%) of our interviewees. Beliefs relating to luck, fate and a sense of cosmic interconnection are widely distributed and often use a shared New Age-influenced vocabulary. Others vary by national context, for example relating to folklore in Romania and superstition in Poland. The prevalence is higher in Eastern than in Western Europe, and we discuss possible reasons for this. Many interviewees express discomfort or tension around a sense of inconsistency in holding these beliefs alongside a rationalist-materialist cognitive framework. We investigate how they articulate this tension, and consider explanations for the persistence of these beliefs, particularly in terms of their ongoing social and psychological role in the lives of many young nonreligious Europeans.","PeriodicalId":45190,"journal":{"name":"Culture and Religion","volume":"21 1","pages":"157 - 177"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-04-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/14755610.2020.1862887","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49149388","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, many of these Christian religious organisations are historically responsible for discriminatory discourses about people living with HIV, creating practical and moral challenges for HIV positive members. Through interviews and ethnographic fieldwork, this paper explores how and why a group of Barbadian women living with HIV develop a strong personal commitment to a spiritual life, and why membership in communities of faith, where HIV infection is often associated with sin and immorality, continues to be important for many of them. I argue that these women’s HIV status transforms and/or intensifies their personal spiritual commitments but also contributes to a critical reflexivity of the wider institutionalised religious communities to which they belong.","PeriodicalId":45190,"journal":{"name":"Culture and Religion","volume":"21 1","pages":"101 - 120"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-04-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/14755610.2021.1903956","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46413869","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
