Summary: | The state of lockdown during Covid-19 had a significant impact on the way in which religion was practised with respect to attitudes towards faith, rituals, and ways of worshipping. This study captures the experiences of practitioners of different faiths in the immediate aftermath of the first lockdown in the UK. Questions were designed to prompt reflection on this drastic change to normal life. The study shows that the experience of lockdown not only provided people with space to think about their faith but also forced them to confront their praxis. What emerged were the novel ways in which respondents engaged with digital technology (the practice of religion online) and material culture to facilitate worship.
