This book deals with the intricate issue of approaching
atheism-methodologically as well as conceptually-from the
perspective of cultural pluralism. What does 'atheism' mean in
different cultural contexts? Can this term be applied appropriately
to different religious discourses which conceptualize
God/gods/Goddess/goddesses (and also godlessness) in hugely
divergent ways? Is my 'God' the same as yours? If not, then how can
your atheism be the same as mine? In other words, this volume
raises the question: Is it not high time that we proposed a
comparative study of atheism(s) alongside that of religions, rather
than believing that atheism is centered in the 'Western'
experience? Apart from answering these questions, the book
highlights the much-needed focus on the philosophical negotiations
between atheism, theism and agnosticism. The fine chapters
collected here present pluralist negotiations with the notion of
atheism and its ethical, theological, literary and scientific
corollaries. Previously published in Sophia Volume 60, issue 3,
September 2021 Chapters "Religious Conversion and Loss of Faith:
Cases of Personal Paradigm Shift?" and "On Being an Infidel" are
