Secular Humanism in Sweden

Anyone who wants to understand how non-religious people organize themselves in secularized societies will find well-founded answers in this study. Using the organization Humanisterna as an example, it shows how secular humanists in Sweden negotiate identity, values, and activism – driven by their life stance, criticism of religion, and human rights work. The ethnographically based analysis provides deep insights into the dynamic tension between religion and secularity and offers new perspectives on the diversity of non-religion. A valuable resource for anyone interested in the sociology of religion, secularity, or social movements.
