An ambitious three-year project on adult religious education and faith development aims challenging the idea that religious faith is infantile and superstitious.  It is being led by a research team at the Mater Dei Centre for Catholic Education at Dublin City University. Writing in the Irish Times, Dr Bernadette Sweetman of DCU said it is ‘lamentable that the dominant public opinion is that a religious person is somehow less intelligent than a non-religious person; that a person of faith is not “informed and rational”; and that to have a faith is infantile and based on superstition’. The project aims to counter that false narrative. To begin the project, she has invited all adults of faith to participate in an online survey which is open until this Sunday, June 30th.The survey can be accessed at dcu.ie/adultRE.
