Joel Thiessen, "None of the Above: Nonreligious Identity in the US and Canada "
English | ISBN: 1479817392 | 2020 | 272 pages | EPUB | 16 MB
Compares secular attitudes characterizing "religious nones" in the United States and Canada
Almost a quarter of American and Canadian adults are nonreligious, while teens and young adults are even less likely to identify religiously. None of the Above explores the growing phenomenon of "religious nones" in North America. Who are the religious nones? Why, and where, is this population growing?
While there has been increased attention on secularism in both Europe and the United States, little work to date has focused on Canada. Joel Thiessen and Sarah Wilkins-Laflamme turn to survey and interview data to explore how a nonreligious identity impacts a variety of aspects of daily life in the US and Canada in sometimes similar and sometimes different ways, offering insights to illuminate societal and political trends.
