Description
'Atheist Awakening' examines the growth and development of organised atheism and humanism in the United States from a sociological perspective. This book is based on interviews with atheist leaders and participants as well as observations and analysis of secular gatherings and media. 'Atheist Awakening' finds that the new atheist outspokenness - as seen in the best-selling 'new atheist' books - is a response to the resurgence of religious involvement in politics during the past thirty years.
