The Varieties of Nonreligious Experience
Based primarily on in-person, telephone-based, and e-mail interviews with more than five hundred American atheists, this book, situated within the discipline of sociology, uncovers the vast diversity of attitudes that exists among atheists today. In doing so, it shows that everyday atheists typically have more nuanced views on religion than do best-selling New Atheist authors; they rely on their feelings as well as their critical thinking when ma…
The Varieties of Nonreligious Experience
A fascinating exploration of the breadth of social, emotional, and spiritual experiences of atheists in America Self-identified atheists make up roughly 5 percent of the American religious landscape, comprising a larger population than Jehovah’s Witnesses, Orthodox Christians, Muslims, Buddhists, and Hindus combined. In spite of their relatively significant presence in society, atheists are one of the most stigmatized groups in the United States,…
Protagoras's Assertion Revisited
How scholars (and others) culturally frame what we mean by atheism matters when it comes to our analysis of it. Because we tend to frame it as something quite simple and certain—as a firm conviction that God does not exist, in other words—we seldom examine our presumptions in doing so or truly appreciate atheism’s connection to the oft-underestimated degree of religious uncertainty among Americans. We also tend to overlook the fact that the varie…

What Is a Person? Rethinking Humanity, Social Life, and the Moral Good from the Person Up
My purpose in this book,” explains Christian Smith at the outset of his deeply learned work, “is to construct a theoretical model of the ontology of the nature of human being” (10). Upon reading this and what follows, I can imagine some sociologists—especially those already busy with numerous teaching and research responsibilities—asking why thinking through a new “metatheoretical framework” (489) for the social sciences is really necessary. Othe…
Society without God
A few years ago, Phil Zuckerman—with his wife and two, soon three, children—picked up and moved to Denmark where he lived and travelled and, most of all, listened to Danes and Swedes talk about all manner of religious topics. Among other things, his book, based largely on the 149 formal interviews, he conducted during his time abroad, sends sociologists accustomed to studying religion within single national (or more localized) contexts a gentle r…
The Catholic Citizen
English Why is it that, in light of strong Church teachings on social justice, American Catholics are no more civic than members of other denominations? Based on an ongoing ethnographic study of Catholic parishes in the San Francisco Bay Area, this article addresses this question through a production of culture perspective. It contends that, by facilitating Catholic identities that are loosely defined and delimiting the prospects for extended dis…
