| Summary: | <p>This important two-volume contribution to the field of secular studies offers the first comprehensive examination of atheists and non-religious people around the world.</p> <p>Who are atheists? How does atheism relate to various aspects of our social world, such as politics, feminism, globalization, and the family? And what is the current state of atheism internationally? Atheism and Secularity addresses the growing interest in the non-religious world by exploring these and related questions. It is a comprehensive and compelling look at atheists and atheism both nationally and internationally, covering a range of topics often overlooked in other books on the subject.</p> <p> Atheism and Secularity is not a philosophical, polemic work, but rather an exploration of who atheists are, what they believe, how they relate to the world, and how the world relates to them. The first volume focuses on topics such as family life, gender, sexuality, politics, and social movements. The second volume looks at atheism and secularity around the world, exploring the lives of non-religious people in North America, Japan, China, India, Europe, the Arab World, and other locations.</p> <p><br> <br></p> Includes essays by 19 top sociologists and psychologists who study atheism and secularity Offers extensive bibliographies for each chapter |
