This book brings together case studies dealing with historical as
well as recent phenomena in former socialist nations, which testify
the transfer of knowledge about religion and atheism. The material
is connected on a semantic level by the presence of a historical
watershed before and after socialism as well as on a theoretical
level by the sociology of knowledge. With its focus on Central and
Eastern Europe this volume is an important contribution to the
research on nonreligion and secularity. The collected volume deals
with agents and media within specific cultural and historical
contexts. Theoretical claims and conceptions by single agents
and/or institutions in which the imparting of knowledge about
religion and atheism was or is a central assignment, are analyzed.
Additionally, procedures of transmitting knowledge about religion
and atheism and of sustaining related institutionalized norms,
interpretations, roles and practices are in the focus of interest.
The book opens the perspective for the multidimensional and
negotiating character of legitimation processes, being involved in
the establishment or questioning of the institutionalized
opposition between religion and atheism or religion and science.
