Atheism and Unbelief

Towards a psychology and sociology of atheism and non-belief If the world’s estimated 1.1 billion atheists and non-believers were grouped together as their own “religion,” they would be the world’s third-largest, trailing only Christianity and Islam.

For most people, though, the realms of the spiritual and the scientific meet most practically on the sickbed. Doctors, nurses, and other health care providers, along with patients and their loved ones, are…
