Summary:This article empirically explores how the use of non-religious mediating artifacts may open up or close spaces of possibilities for young people residing in childcare institutions in their processes of religious learning. As opposed to studies focusing on teaching sessions, worship services, or Christian rituals, the present paper examines three situations where one does not automatically expect religious learning to take place. Hence, we argue that the theoretical perspectives employed in this paper allows us to see how seemingly insignificant material objects may play a significant role in processes of religious learning.
