Offering an important geographical perspective to the study of freethought, atheism, secularity and nonreligion, this wide-ranging book will be of significant interest to scholars of 20th-century social and intellectual history, sociology of religion and nonreligion, cultural and religious studies, philosophy and theology. The study is framed by methodological and analytical chapters. This approach utilizes perspectives from social and intellectual history in combination with sociology of religion in order to cover the historical development of secularity and secular thought, complemented with sociological data. A multinational team of contributors provide interdisciplinary case studies covering Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Russia, Ukraine, Poland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Croatia, Romania and Bulgaria. While the label of “post-Communism” might suggest a generalized perception of the region, this survey reveals that the precise developments in each country before, after and even during the Communist era are surprisingly diverse. In contrast to scholarship that has focused on the “decline of religion” and secularization theory, the book builds upon recent trends to focus on the “rise of nonreligion” itself.
This book provides the first comprehensive overview of atheism, secularity and nonreligion in Central and Eastern Europe in the 20th and 21st centuries. 1 Studying freethought and atheism in Central and Eastern Europe: an introductionĢ Bulgaria: freethought and atheism in the shadow of ethnophyletismģ Anticlericalism, nonreligiosity and atheism in CroatiaĤ Freethinkers and atheists in the Czech Lands in the 20th centuryĥ Atheism and Freethought in Estonian cultureĦ Freethought, atheism and anticlericalism in 20th-century Hungaryħ The trajectories of atheism and secularization in Latvia: from the German Enlightenment to contemporary secularityĨ The social history of irreligion in Lithuania (from the 19th century to the present): between marginalization, monopoly and disregard?ĩ Secularist social movements in Poland: history, institutionalization, repertoire of actionsġ0 Romania: between freethought, atheism and religionġ2 Slovakia as a country without atheism but with a history of atheizationġ3 Atheism in the context of the secularization and desecularization of Ukraine in the 20th centuryġ4 Nonreligion in the CEE region: some remarks
