When seeking to resolve legal claims concerning religious interests, the English courts will be called upon to determine the content of the religious interests being claimed. Facing this task with an increase in urgency at the start of the 21st century, the courts had a variety of strategies to draw upon in determining religion. Additionally, as the first cases on religious discrimination and religious rights have begun to be considered, a further strategy, based on a sociological approach to religious content, has begun to be deployed. This article evaluates the different strategies, and concludes by arguing for an emphasis on the beliefs of the individual claimant.
