Introduction to the British Journal of Developmental Psychology special issue on religion, culture, and development

Religion is a near-universal phenomenon, yet only 0.5% of all peer-reviewed PsycINFO articles contain the keyword children and the keyword religion; for articles with religion and adolescence, the incidence is 0.8%. The literature, therefore, does not reflect the degree to which children and adolescents may be affected by religion. However, whereas the previous decade (from 2000 to 2009) featured around 800 peerreviewed articles with keywords children and religion, in just the first half of the current decade (2010–2015), there are over 700 such articles with those keywords. This special issue pushes our field forward with cutting-edge research and theory on not only children and religion, but also on culture. The papers elucidate the impact of micro-level factors, such as parents and family, and macro-level factors, such as cultural ideologies.
