Popis: This is a response to Julia Ipgrave’s contribution on the contextuality of young people’s views on religion and religious diversity in this collection of essays on ‘Religion in Education’. First I will highlight and reflect on methodological issues raised by Ipgrave’s observations in the light of my own research. The first problem highlighted is the use of the same words while they have different emotional connotations in different regional settings and for different groups. Then I will reflect on the ambivalent results concerning learning about religions from the point of view of implementing the research findings in relation to everyday school practices.
