Recenzje

Practicing Atheism: Culture, Media, and Ritual in the Contemporary Atheist Network by religious studies scholar Hannah K. Scheidt is a welcome addition to the task of understanding this second, secular movement. Not a long book, it is a good read and particularly strong on reflections of ideas as they are transmitted in various media-blogs, for instance, and television programs and so forth. It takes up such contested questions as to whether atheism is a religion...Also, whether we should think of the atheism movement as something in its own right or more of a reaction to the above-mentioned Christian movement.
