Singapore society has long been multi-ethnic, multi-cultural and multi-religious, being at the crossroads of many major and minor civilizations, cultures and traditions. Its religious diversity continues to develop in the current contexts of growing religiosity, religious change and conflict often in the name of religion. This volume covering major themes of Singapore's religious landscape, religion in schools and among the young, religion in the media, religious involvement in social services, and interfaith issues and interaction, fills important gaps in the knowledge and understanding of Singapore's religious diversity and complexity.
