dc.description	This introduction first, sketches the genesis of the notion ‘religious indifference’ from different theological debates. Second, we illustrate its use in the social scientific debate on secularisation and modernity, highlighting some of the difficulties with defining and identifying indifferent populations. On the base of a relational approach to nonreligion we further conceptualise religious indifference as lacking direct relationships with religion, but as positioned in relation to religious or more explicit nonreligious positions by relevant agents who render the lack of direct relationships to religion remarkable. This perspective underscores the concepts’ entanglement with the scientific study of non/religion. All this adds to conceptualising indifference as a symbolically powerful and contested concept. We discuss ways of distinguishing between different forms of indifference and conclude this introduction by summarising the contributions to this volume.	-
