As recent headlines reveal, conflicts and debates around the world
more and more frequently involve secularism. National borders and
traditional religions can no longer keep people in tidy boxes
anymore as political struggles, doctrinal divergences, and
demographic trends sweep across regions and entire continents.
Secularity is increasing in society, with a growing number of
people in many regions having no religious affiliation or lacking
interest in religion. Simultaneously, there is a resurgence of
religious participation in the politics of many countries. How
might these diverse phenomena be interrelated, and better
understood? The Oxford Handbook of Secularism offers a wide-ranging
examination of secularism on a global scale, bringing together an
international collection of views from prominent experts in a
variety of fields. This volume reflects the impressive level of
academic attention now given to secularism across the humanities,
social sciences, law and public policy, and international
relations. Long-reigning theories about the pace of secularization,
and ideal church-state relations, are here scrutinized by a new
generation of scholars studying secularism with new questions,
better data, and fresh perspectives. This is the essential volume
for comprehending the core issues and methodological approaches to
the demographics and sociology of secularity; the history and
variety of political secularisms; the comparison of constitutional
secularisms across countries spanning from America to Asia; the key
problems now convulsing church-state relations; the intersections
of liberalism, multiculturalism, and religion; the latest
psychological research into secular lives and lifestyles; and the
naturalistic and humanistic worldviews available to nonreligious
people. The Oxford Handbook of Secularism addresses a wide breadth
of interrelated issues and problems from multi-disciplinary
stances, covering scholarly territory not addressed previously.
