Ep 2 Is Ireland as secularised as we think?
In the latest Census data, there was an increase in those identifying as having ‘no religion’, with a decline in those identifying as ‘catholic’. This reflects the secularisation of the Irish population. However, as stated in Episode 1, people are still continuing to give large sums of money to religious organisations. The types of religious organisations that we see in Ireland are also changing and evolving away from Catholicism and towards newer incentives, as the ‘New Irish’ emerge. Join Dennis O’Connor and Niamh Carruthers in this episode to discuss the history of Ireland, religion, and trying to unwrap if Ireland is as secularised as we think. If you’re interested in taking a deeper dive into the funding of religious organisations, read ‘The Economics of Faith’ report here: https://2into3.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/The-Economics-of-Faith-06.09-FINAL.pdf If you have a social impact story you’d like to share, contact eilis.oboyle@2into3.com.
