The Western World is becoming atheist. In the space of three
generations churchgoing and religious belief have become alien to
millions. We are in the midst of one of humankind's great cultural
changes. How has this happened? Becoming Atheist explores how
people of the sixties' generation have come to live their lives as
if there is no God. It tells the life narratives of those from
Britain, Western Europe, the United States and Canada who came from
Christian, Jewish and other backgrounds to be without faith. Based
on interviews with 85 people born in 18 countries, Callum Brown
shows how gender, ethnicity and childhood shape how individuals
lose religion. This book moves from statistical and broad cultural
analysis to use frank, humorous and sometimes harrowing personal
testimony. Becoming Atheist exposes people's role in renegotiating
their own identities, and fashioning a secular and humanist culture
for the Western world.
