“Crawling with Atheists”: Unbelief at Canadian Universities during the Sixties
Canadian universities were regularly held to be seedbeds of atheism in the long sixties. This article interrogates that claim through an analysis of campus life at a selection of universities across Canada, with special attention given to the University of British Columbia. Drawing on campus publications, secular media sources, religious and humanist writings, and oral histories, this article shows that unbelief was openly discussed and addressed…
I Just Kept it to Myself’: Unbelief, Feminism and Secularisation in English Canada, 1960s–1980s
This article is based on newspapers and magazines, statistical sources and oral histories with 42 white, English Canadian women who rejected religious belief in the 1960s–1980s. During that era, organised religious involvement declined sharply in Canada and levels of unbelief gradually increased. This article explores how feminism shaped women's departure from religion in those years. The second‐wave women's movement tended to disregard religious…

Religion, Irreligion, and the Difference Place Makes: The Case of the Postwar Pacific Northwest
La Colombie-Britannique et l'État de Washington formaient ensemble la région la moins religieuse d'Amérique du Nord durant l'époque d'après-guerre. Les lettrés ont cherché en vain une explication démographique à ce sécularisme. Les données colligées d'une foule de documents imprimés, de sources quantitative et d'entrevues orales semblent indiquer que le sécularisme était un phénomène moins démographique que culturel, produit et entretenu dans les…
