This book considers how the non-religious self is performed
publicly online, and how digital culture and technology shapes this
process. Building on a YouTube case study with women vloggers, it
presents unique empirical data on non-organized atheism in the
United States. Lundmark suggests that the atheist self as performed
online exists in tension between a perception of atheism as sinful
and amoral in relation to hegemonical Christianity in the U.S., and
the hyperrational, male-centered discourse that has characterized
the atheist movement. She argues that women atheist vloggers
co-effect third spaces of emotive resonance that enable a
precarious counterpublicness of performing atheist visibility. The
volume offers a valuable contribution to the discussion of how the
public, the private, and areas in-between are understood within
digital religion, and opens up new space for engaging with the
increased visibility of atheist identity in a mediatized society.
