Thesis (M.A.) from the year 2010 in the subject American Studies - Culture and Applied Geography, grade: 1,1, University of Leipzig (American Studies), language: English, comment: Gutachten kann nachgereicht werden, abstract: Odd as it may sound, this paper is not interested in the existence of God or gods. Neither will this paper be a work of advocacy of atheism nor of religion and faith but a not tendentious culture-scientific study on contemporary atheism in the USA and its model of secularism as it is presented in the Internet.
