Drawing on ethnographic inquiry and the anthropological literature on doubt and atheism, this volume explores people's reluctance to pursue religion. The contributors capture the experiences of godless people and examine their perspectives on the role of religion in their personal and public lives. In doing so, the volume contributes to a critical understanding of the processes of disengagement from religion and reveals the challenges and paradoxes that godless people face.

Industry Reviews

"This [insightful volume] is a much-needed collection of multiple explanations of lived atheisms and non-religion from different settings...[It] will attract anthropologists and the general reader alike." ? Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute (JRAI)

"The individual chapters and the introduction all contribute to advancing and nuancing existing theories of 'non-religion', religious disaffiliation, atheism, etc., and is, on the whole rather innovative, and well written." ? Anthropological Notebooks

"The volume excels at making clear the importance of geographic context in considering non-religion and society while simultaneously presenting research that raises big questions about contemporary non-religion...a sound contribution to the study of non-religion." ? Reading Religion
