I started Day 2 of #Atheism Explained? in another #Secularization session.

In the opening plenary session of #Atheism Explained?, three authors meet commenters.

The #book: Beyond Doubt
The #Secularization of #Society (https://amzn.to/3zcRR5y)

Phil Zuckerman compared the book's claims to prior claims about #religion.

Ryan Cragun sketched their multi-facted model of secularization.

Isabella Kasselstand showed us how some of the #data aligns with the model.

Hugh Turpin and Lois Lee gave rousing commentary!

🇺🇸 How Christianity’s Decline Impacts White Christians’ Emotional and Attitudinal Response

“Racial resentment predicts Christian nationalism, Christian persecution beliefs, and White persecution beliefs.
