Furthermore, by focusing on micro-level processes of indi-vidual experiences with non-religion, both in interviews and public discussion online, Hamidaddin shines a welcome light on the individual underpinnings of larger social structural changes. Those interested in the religious politics of Saudi Arabia, in secu-larization and non-religion, or in the use of online research methodologies will find much of use here.
