Historians have paid little attention to the role of empire in the development of organized free thought. Secularism as it developed in Britain and its settler colonies was an overtly outward-looking, global ideology in a period marked by the rise of scientific rationalism and belief in the logic of a European civilizing mission. Recent scholarship has focused on how the empire influenced British and American atheists on the question of race. What is missing is an in-depth examination of the formation of secularist ideas about universal progress, ethics, and secular morality. Through an examination of the secularist periodical and pamphlet press, this book argues that the religious diversity of the British Empire helped to shape the ethical worldview of the secularists, providing ammunition for their critiques of Christian morality and the church and justification for their policy reform proposals both in Britain and the colonies. 001443049 650_0 $$aSecularism$$zGreat Britain$$xHistory$$y19th century. 001443049 651_0 $$aGreat Britain$$xColonies$$xReligion. 001443049 651_6 $$aGrande-Bretagne$$xColonies$$xReligion. 001443049 655_7 $$aHistory.$$2fast$$0(OCoLC)fst01411628 001443049 655_0 $$aElectronic books. 001443049 77608 $$iPrint version:$$z3030852016$$z9783030852016$$w(OCoLC)1260664010 001443049 830_0 $$aHistories of the sacred and the secular 1700-2000. 001443049 852__ $$bebk 001443049 85640 $$3Springer Nature$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-030-85202-3$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 001443049 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1443049$$pGLOBAL_SET 001443049 980__ $$aBIB 001443049 980__ $$aEBOOK 001443049 982__ $$aEbook 001443049 983__ $$aOnline 001443049 994__ $$a92$$bISE
