This book explores the world of religion, spirituality and
secularity among the Millennial generation in the United States and
Canada, with a focus on the ways Millennials are doing
(non)religion differently in their social lives compared with their
parents and grandparents. It considers the influences exercised on
the (non)religious and spiritual landscapes of young adults in
North America by the digital age, precarious work, growing
pluralism, extreme individualism, environmental crisis, advanced
urbanism, expanded higher education, emerging adulthood, and a
secular age. Based on extensive primary and secondary quantitative
data, complemented with high-quality qualitative research,
including interviews and focus groups, this book offers
cross-national comparisons between the United States and Canada to
highlight the impact of different social environments on the
experience of religion, spirituality and secularity among the
continent's most numerous generation. As such, it will appeal to
scholars of religion and sociology, with interests in religious and
societal change as well as in religious practice among young
adults.

Compares secular attitudes characterizing “religious nones” in
the United States and Canada Almost a quarter of American and
Canadian adults are nonreligious, while teens and young adults are
even less likely to identify religiously. None of the Above
explores the growing phenomenon of “religious nones” in North
America. Who are the religious nones? Why, and where, is this
population growing? While there has been increased attention on
secularism in both Europe and the United States, little work to
date has focused on Canada. Joel Thiessen and Sarah
Wilkins-Laflamme turn to survey and interview data to explore how a
nonreligious identity impacts a variety of aspects of daily life in
the US and Canada in sometimes similar and sometimes different
ways, offering insights to illuminate societal and political
trends. With numbers of nonreligious people even higher in Canada
than in the US, some believe that secular currents to the north
foreshadow what will happen in the US. None of the Above asserts
that a growing divide between religious and nonreligious
populations could engender a greater distance in moral and
political values and behaviors. At once provocative and insightful,
this book tackles questions of coexistence, religious tolerance,
and spirituality, as American and Canadian society accelerate
toward a more secular future.

The Cascadia bioregion - British Columbia, Washington, and Oregon -
has long been at the forefront of cultural shifts occurring
throughout North America, in particular regarding religious
institutions, ideas, and practices. Religion at the Edge explores
the rise of religious "nones," the decline of mainstream Christian
denominations, spiritual and environmental innovation, increasing
religious pluralism, and the growth of smaller, more traditional
faith groups. The first research-driven book to address religion,
spirituality, and irreligion in the Pacific Northwest, past and
present, Religion at the Edge expands our understanding of the
nature, scale, and implications of socio-religious changes in North
America, and the relevance of regionalism to that discussion.

Ask a child "What is a book?" and you may get some unexpected
answers - like those included in this whimsically philosophical
tribute to reading. Lovely to share with a child, and a perfect
gift for book-lovers of all ages. A beautifully produced,
small-format jacketed hardcover with simple illustrations that are
whimsical yet humorous. A book to read. A book belongs in a
library, on a bookshelf, in a bookshop, in your house. A story
belongs wherever a story belongs. If it's Sunday and raining, a
book is the perfect thing. Even a small book, because boredom can
be very big. You can read a book while you walk, but you have to be
careful not to bump into things.
