This volume offers an empirical perspective on the so-called first
generation of human rights. It explores the legitimization of these
human rights by individual people, both because of their religion
and because of their vision of what constitutes human dignity. The
book addresses such issues as the foundation of human rights, the
necessity of a broader conversation about human rights, aspects of
freedom of religion, and the role of religion in Belarus, Britain,
Chile, Germany, Italy, Nigeria, Norway and Tanzania. Taking an
international comparative perspective, the volume answers the
question as to what extent adolescents in different countries
support civil human rights and what influences their attitudes
towards these rights.

As the diversity of the contributions in this volume shows, the
relationship between religion and civil human rights is complex
and multifaceted. Studying this complicated relationship calls
for a variety of theoretical perspectives and rigorous empirical
testing in different national contexts. This book’s empirical
approach provides an important complementary perspective for
legal, political and public debates.
