Abstract
The article examines aspects of religious identity for young people living along the border between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland in terms both of religious and ethno-national content and encompassing personal as well as collective components. Religion is seen as both positive and negative. It is constructed as strengthening family bonds, providing a sense of belonging and history and fostering tolerance and acceptance. Paradoxically it is also seen as fuelling extant intergroup hostilities.
