Additional text

‘This is a timely work that considerably furthers our understanding of nonreligious identities in regions that hitherto have seen little scholarly attention. The authors provide researchers with an invaluable toolbox for and illuminating examples of thorough and multidimensional analysis of contemporary nonreligion vis-á-vis its societal others.’ – Tom Kaden, University of Bayreuth, Germany
