By addressing identity at these different levels, the book explores how individuals construct their own atheistℓ́ℓor non-religiousℓ́ℓidentity, how they construct community and how identity factors into atheist interaction at the social or institutional levels. The book offers an interdisciplinary comparative approach to the analysis of issues relating to atheism, such as demography, community engagement, gender politics, stigmatism and legal action. It covers such themes as: secularization; the social context of atheism in various Western countries; the shifting of atheist identities based on different cultural and national contexts; the role of atheism in multicultural settings; how the framework of ℓ́ℓreasonable accommodationℓ́ℓ applies to atheism; interactions and relationships between atheism and religion; and how atheism is represented for political and legal purposes. Featuring contributions by international scholars at the cutting edge of atheism studies, this volume offers unique insights into the relationship between atheism and identity. It will serve as a useful resource for academics, journalists, policy makers and readers interested in secular and religious studies, identity construction and identity politics as well as atheism in general. 000724760 588__ $$aDescription based on online resource; title from PDF title page (viewed December 19, 2014). 000724760 650_0 $$aAtheism. 000724760 650_0 $$aAtheists. 000724760 650_0 $$aGroup identity. 000724760 7001_ $$aBeaman, Lori G.,$$eeditor. 000724760 7001_ $$aTomlins, Steven,$$eeditor. 000724760 77608 $$iPrint version:$$z9783319096018 000724760 830_0 $$aBoundaries of religious freedom ;$$vv. 2. 000724760 852__ $$bebk 000724760 85640 $$3SpringerLink$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-319-09602-5$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 000724760 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:724760$$pGLOBAL_SET 000724760 980__ $$aEBOOK 000724760 980__ $$aBIB 000724760 982__ $$aEbook 000724760 983__ $$aOnline 000724760 994__ $$a92$$bISE
