▼ This project examines sources of variation among the wide array of individuals who describe themselves as ‘atheist.’ Broadly speaking, I hypothesize the continuing influence of factors such as childhood religiosity, time-period, and organizational affiliation explain a portion of the variation between atheists. A mixed-method analysis drew a sample of atheists raised in religion, utilizing recruitment flyers throughout Chicagoland and neighboring states. 201 online surveys and fifty semi-structured interviews polled respondents about their religious upbringings, experiences questioning and leaving religion, and current stances and definitions surrounding atheism. Analysis finds religious intensity in respondents’ upbringings exerts influence over the misgivings they experienced with their childhood religion, eventually culminating in exit from theism. Childhood religious intensity also exerts direct and indirect influence on present-day beliefs: specific mentions of residual, dogmatism, and one’s symbolic boundaries around atheism. Respondents’ decision to affiliate with an atheist group stemmed from zealotry and earlier social networks, though precise motivations differ widely between atheists, and may change over one’s lifetime. Finally, there is a cohort effect in how atheists wish to engage religion: early cohorts stress a battle centered around rights, while later cohorts focus on stewardship and human progress. Overall, these findings yield support for residual effects from one’s childhood religion, as well as influence from the broader social and political climate outside one’s household and previous community of worship. The study also lays the groundwork for future research, cataloguing a spectrum of variation in definitions of atheism and epistemological stances concerning the (non)existence of god.

▼ There is very little research that is empirically-based about atheism in Canada; this thesis seeks to contribute foundational knowledge in this area. It begins with a historical and contemporary overview of atheism in Canada by examining its appearance in government, law, and media. It then addresses the question: “How do atheists construct their identities in the context of a religiously diverse Canada?” through an analysis of data collected from participant-observation with an atheist university club, the Atheist Community of the University of Ottawa (ACUO), followed by an analysis of five significant themes which arose from forty life history interviews (twenty with ACUO members; twenty with Ottawa-area atheists who did not belong to an atheist community that met in person). These themes are: loss of religious identity and/or development of atheist identity; group belonging; perceptions of media and public understanding of atheism; the use of the United States for narrative or comparative purposes; and the frequency of receiving a negative reaction simply for being an atheist. This study found that most interviewees perceived the Canadian public and the media as not understanding atheism because the subject is not commonly reported on or discussed, and many said that (ir)religiosity rarely came up in conversations with strangers, acquaintances, or co-workers. These notions were often seen as resulting from a Canadian social etiquette which dictates that controversial subjects should be avoided in order to minimize the risk of causing offense. Moreover, members of the ACUO often said that they joined an atheist community because they wanted a safe space to meet like-minded people with whom they could freely discuss religion without causing offense to religious others. Unlike in findings from the United States, interviewees did not speak of their atheist identities as being considered ‘un-Canadian’ or as excluding them from their conception(s) of Canadian society. While interviewees often said they were selective with whom they decided to express their atheism, most felt quite positive about living as an atheist in Canada, especially compared to the plight of atheists living in other countries, and atheism came across as being ‘just’ another ‘idea’ in a mosaic of cultural ideas.

▼ Leviathan drawn out by its tail: The religious ideas of the second half of Leviathan Jonathan Harmon In this dissertation, I examine the religious writings of Thomas Hobbes, primarily as they occur in the second half of Leviathan (but drawing from other sources as necessary). My aim is to illustrate the continuity between Hobbes' thoughts on religion and other areas of his philosophy, especially his political theory. Hobbes' distinctive philosophical position, filtered through the lens of the Bible, is what animates the theology of the second half of Leviathan. In short: Hobbes is a materialist, a determinist, an empiricist, a nominalist, a political absolutist, and a social and intellectual elitist. He came of age in a Anglican-Calvinist context and had a humanist education. He was born on the cusp of the scientific revolution, and considered himself a scientist and a mathematician. All of these influences affect the views presented in Leviathan. Hobbes approaches the Christianity of his era hypercritically, with an eye to excising foreign and irrational influences (Greek, Scholastic philosophy, pagan religion, Catholic hierarchy) and replacing them with (ostensibly) Biblically-grounded and philosophically-robust doctrines. In effect, Hobbes is attempting to rationally reconstruct Christianity on the basis of Scripture and his own philosophical system, and his overriding concern is with political stability and the absolute authority of the sovereign. In Chapter 1, I focus on the first half of Leviathan. My discussion explores issues and controversies in the natural theology of Hobbes. Chapter 2 draws some parallels between Hobbes' determinist physics and the doctrine of predestination most often associated with Jean Calvin. Chapter 3 begins the analysis of the second half of Leviathan. I consider Hobbes' position on the relationship between reason and revelation. I consider the sources of religious belief from a Hobbesian perspective - miracles, prophecy, and scripture. Hobbes subjects all of these to rigorous epistemological critiques. In Chapter 4, I examine Hobbes' unique account of eschatology, and the purposes to which he puts it. Hobbes' account of heaven and hell, the soul and salvation, are startling to the modern reader, but actually are a idiosyncratic blend of the radical ideas of some of Hobbes' contemporaries and his own philosophical commitments. I consider some of the potential sources for these innovations in his theory, whether direct or indirect. Hobbes embraces a vision of the relationship between Church and State that emphasizes their unity and absolute subordination to the sovereign. In Chapter 5, I analyze this extended argument, highlighting Hobbes' encyclopedic attempt to demolish any argument that splits authority into temporal and spiritual realms. In Chapter 6 I consider the double question of Hobbes' religious sincerity: both as an individual and as the author of Leviathan. I consider the thoughts of the Straussian school as they apply to Hobbes. I return to the thoughts of Hobbes'… Advisors/Committee Members: David M. Rasmussen (Thesis advisor).

▼ This project seeks to respond to the charge of atheism and nihilism brought against Hegel’s philosophy of religion by Slavoj Žižek and John Milbank. Žižek presents an interpretation wherein the Hegelian concept of absolute spirit is reduced to a non-theology of pure immanence, the result of which is a species of atheism. The force of Hegel’s speculative redescription of the Christian narrative lies in the fact that the incarnate divine expresses the alienation of God from himself; in other words, the figure of Christ expresses the fact that there is no God. According to Žižek, this is the revolutionary insight of Hegel’s logic of absolute spirit. By contrast, Milbank argues that dialectical logic is a consequence of Hegel’s indebtedness to a Protestant metanarrative; as a result, his metaphysics cannot admit paradoxical (Catholic) logic which is required in a genuinely theistic account of the divine. Both Milbank and Žižek, therefore, conclude that Hegel’s theology is fundamentally atheistic and nihilistic at its core. Contra these interpretations, I argue that Hegel’s logic of absolute spirit is properly ontotheological and therefore belongs to the theistic tradition. My dissertation does not attempt to say that Hegel’s theology belongs to a specific theistic tradition as many contemporary scholars have attempted to do; rather, it only defends Hegelian ontotheology against the charge of atheism by highlighting the genuinely theistic logic at work. Contra Žižek, I argue that Hegel’s speculative redescription of the Christian narrative does not reveal a wholly tragic divine that has lost all faith in itself; nor does it seek to show that the death of God leads to a thoroughly immanent spirit. Instead, Hegel’s logic of absolute spirit always has for its goal the development of the concrete subjectivity (authentic freedom) of spirit. Given this aim, spirit cannot lose all claims to transcendence, but must include a genuine species of transcendence within itself. This kind of transcendence is clearly not the hyper-eminence of the distant sovereign, but is instead a stronger sense of transcendence wherein God existentially completes himself as Subject.

▼ This study aims to offer an account of the emergence of the phenomenon of atheism in South Africa and in so doing present a case for its admittance as a new and exciting field of research within the academy in the country. The pervasive assumptions of religious normativity on the continent and in South Africa may serve to conceal a rich and vibrant worldview of atheism which, as this study proposes, can in its own right, also attempt meaningful responses to life’s deepest and most complex questions, without the need to declare an affiliation to any religious authority or sect. It is in the lived realities of atheists and in the makings of their social contexts, inclusive of its political history, its media and its laws, that this study finds its mooring and academic purpose. Given the embryonic nature of this project within a field of study which is under-researched in the country, the research design adopted includes a set of empirical components, by way of direct interviews with a set of self-pronounced South African atheists, an analysis of the phenomenon in relation to the country’s legal framework and jurisprudence, and a survey of the online digital media contexts in which atheism also finds representation. This multi-disciplinary approach sought to broadly trace through factors historic and current, as well as issues foreign and domestic, which have either advanced or suppressed the emergence of atheism in South Africa. Locating this study within the historical development of the worldview of atheism from as far back as Greek antiquity up to advances made in recent years in shaping this field of formal academic research, was considered imperative as a potential gateway for new rounds of future research on atheism itself, or other related sub-categories within the broader field of non-religion. Constructs which are distinctly different but which have grown in alliance with atheism in recent years, such as secularity and humanism have also become essential to the construction of atheist self-identities and the emergence of atheism as a social phenomenon in South Africa. The dialogue developed within this study between related literature resources and the responses of interviewees pointed to a new range of perspectives on atheism which were greater than the sum of these parts, in that South African atheists had demonstrably moved beyond the confines of having their lives defined by the absence of a religious belief system or by something that they are not.

▼

One of the great Procrustean epithets of the Renaissance, “atheist” in the first century of its use in the English language could imply anything from Italianism and excessive learning to libertinism and tobacco-smoking. Its historical reception has been typified, in turn, by the scholarly slurs of categorical vacuity and semantic looseness. The first claim of my dissertation, however, is that the inclusivity of Renaissance atheism signifies vital connectivity rather than speciousness. Reading canonical works of English Renaissance poetry and drama alongside their antique and contemporaneous sources, I contend that atheism responds to the precarious hold on emergent accounts of materiality by the forms of belief. Rather than systematic denial of theology, atheism coalesces in the imagination of the English Renaissance like the remnants of a vivid but inchoate dream; it shares its content, abject material existence, with the moral, religious, and social authorities to which it is opposed. Evidence for this interpretation does not primarily emerge in clear records of confessional states or legal remains, but from the correspondingly dreamlike efforts of aesthetic representation. My dissertation follows their often-obscured contours and reveals that Renaissance atheism is as much a mode and function of verbal expression, energized by particularized language and the details of material reality, as a discrete category of devotion. Chapters on Edmund Spenser’s mutable universe and John Donne’s interrogation of the soul explore how humanist syntheses of antique texts mingle pagan philosophy with Christian doctrine, smuggling fragments of atheist cosmology into otherwise orthodox discourses. In a reading of Ben Jonson’s pathologized London, I explore how a chorus of Christian denominations proclaiming singular access to divine truth also uncovers its potential impossibility in the position of atheism. Pessimistic meditations about the place of human life within historical and natural orders challenge Providence and anchor two chapters on the reordering of private and public life in Shakespeare’s drama. Each of these focused studies finds a renewed understanding of premodern atheism in the imaginative topography of the English Renaissance, its spectral presence suggesting a world that begins, ends, and finds signification in the terms of material experience.

▼ This Thesis is an experiment. Within its pages a number of stories will be told, the foci of which will apply a particular methodology—what I call ‘Ethnographic Criticism’—to the examination of a specific concept: modern Atheist identity. First, it will introduce Ethnographic Criticism as a new and significant style of literary analysis aimed at reading fictional texts in order to generate anthropological insights about how particular identities are formed. Second, it will use this new means of criticism to discuss and evaluate how Atheist identity might be perceived as being constructed within a dialectic between seemingly exclusive forms of Theism and Atheism. Ethnographic Criticism exists at the nexus between fiction and ethnography, and its genesis derives from three foundational pillars: ethnographic construction, Ethical Criticism, and discourse analysis. In the three Chapters of Part One, each of these pillars will be established, both exegetically and critically. This examination will play a key role in explicating how the ‘made-up’ qualities of fiction might be converted into the ‘made-from’ qualities of ethnography. Additionally, these Chapters will reveal the roots of Ethnographic Criticism through an analysis of discourses dealing with the ‘literary turn’ in the theory of anthropology, how Ethical Criticism associates fictional character development with identity construction, and the anthropological benefits of discourse analysis. As a case study, I will apply Ethnographic Criticism to an analysis of Atheist identity construction. Due to the combination of a relative absence of existing ethnographic sources on the subject, an ambiguous academic discourse on the definition of the term, and a paucity of cultural units or ‘tribes’ of Atheists in which to observe, my use of Ethnographic Criticism will attempt to fill a methodological lacuna concerning the study of Atheist identity. Thus, in Part Two, I will focus on two fictional texts by the contemporary English novelist Ian McEwan: Black Dogs (1992) and Enduring Love (1997). In this analysis, not only will McEwan’s fictional characters be treated as if they are ‘real,’ historical individuals, they will be evaluated through an anthropological lens in order to isolate within their interactional validations a means to understand how Atheists define themselves via dialectical communication. In this way, and in both explicating and reflecting upon this approach, my experimental analysis will identify a number of dynamic, yet no less precarious, outcomes that might surface from reading fictional texts as if they were authoritatively equal to ethnographic ones.

▼ The term ‘new atheism’ was first used in 2006 by Gary Wolf, who was describing the wave of irreligious publishing that was sweeping the world at the time and the social group that was growing alongside it. Since this time there has been an increased scholarly interest in non-religion and irreligion and more articles have been produced on the new atheists themselves. However, this literature has still been in the early stages and has been limited in its use of empirical sources, with only a small number of exceptions (Cimino and Smith 2007, 2010; Bullivant 2008a, 2008b, 2010; Pasquale 2010; Manning 2010; Kosmin and Keysar 2007; Hunsberger and Altemeyer 2006). Due to this lack of empirical data in the literature on the new atheism, it was an imperative to confirm current literature observations with participant data. This research set out to achieve this, using Grounded Theory in which the empirical field itself guided theory formation. This allowed the insider views of participants to inform the investigations within the field, to create categories relevant to irreligious individuals and groups. Using a constant comparison approach, I included the literature and history of the irreligious movement as part of my data after initial participant categories had been discovered. Via this comparison of Historical, Interview and Internet Participant Observation data with the literature, eight sociological categories of the irreligious were discovered along four structural organising dimensions. They were found to have consistent structuring affects throughout irreligious history and continuing into the new atheism itself. They were found to cause continuing division within the new atheism via a number of empirical case studies that show the emergence of sub-groups within the new atheism along these dimensions. These dimensions are covert/public, accommodation/confrontation, substitution/elimination and empathetic/intellectual. The irreligious field is an evolving construct, but many of its changes are driven by the four dimensions described. This will add to continuing academic discussions and critiques of the secularisation thesis and the concept of postsecularity. It will do this by highlighting secularisation as an evolving social process without a teleological endpoint. The new atheism is a particularly poignant example for making this argument, because as has been argued by Borer (2010), the movement is reacting to the perceived failure of the thesis itself. The new atheists feel a need to put forward a public form of irreligion in order to compete with religious views in the postsecular public sphere. It is a world that is still steeped in religious practices and in which the new atheists feel a need for public representation in order to validate their views. This validation can also involve the creation and appropriation of concepts often connected to religion, such as community structures, rituals and moral prescriptions. The mixing of religious and secular practices discovered within the new atheist group helps to… Advisors/Committee Members: University of Western Sydney (Host institution), School of Social Sciences and Psychology (Host institution).

▼ This dissertation argues that eighteenth-century British authors often employed atheism to explore both the limits of modern selfhood and the limits of literary representation. Authors like Jonathan Swift, Sarah Fielding, Phebe Gibbes, and William Cowper imagined godless worlds dominated by atheists and atheistic tenets to interrogate Lockean and later Scottish Enlightenment understandings of the self. These authors cast the atheist as the fundamental incarnation of a completely autonomous self, and they each raised the issue of that self's ability (or, more accurately, inability) to integrate successfully into a wider community defined by developing notions of civility, sociability, and fellow feeling. Perhaps unsurprisingly, this atheistic self was found wanting. For the authors discussed throughout “Unbelief,” a truly sociable self was a believing self. And, because atheism barred one from sociability, theists from all corners of Britain's empire were entitled to participate, if in varying degrees, in the believing world these authors promoted. How authors went about this was counterintuitive. Instead of directly addressing atheistic arguments in the manner of sermons and apologetic tracts, literary works instantiated a speculative genre that takes atheism's premises for granted, depicting worlds in which God is absent and atheists rule the roost. Hence, the narrator of Swift's An Argument Against Abolishing Christianity (1708) begins by informing us that two men recently discovered there is no God. Swift notably satirizes these British atheists by juxtaposing them to Turkish Muslims, who to their credit still believe in God. Although Swift most certainly felt little attraction to Islam, it is nonetheless telling that the chasm between real, substantive Christianity and the religions Britain encountered in the East was narrowed for him by the more troubling presence of atheism at home. In response to atheism's perceived spread, this chasm continued to shrink throughout the century. Thus, just as texts like Swift's Argument present speculative fictions meant to forestall the rise of real-world unbelief, so too did religious pluralism arise, at least in part, as a reaction against atheism.

▼ This thesis is a personal, folk philosophical reflection on the biological and believing nature of the human animal. It seeks to defend our right to believe, and argues that on occasion it is right to believe, even in the absence of good evidence. In particular I argue that such credulous belief may be justified when it forms part of a Life Centering Belief [LCB]. The prime example of an LCB is religious belief. I argue that human beings are ‘naturally’ drawn to belief. We are ‘credulous animals,’ with limited access to certain knowledge of a personally relevant kind. So beliefs that solve problems for us are very attractive; in the right circumstances, they are all but irresistible. We must act to survive and almost always on less than complete information – thus the need to believe, even in the absence of evidence. I argue then that religious believing is an evolved capacity. It came about out of the environment of evolutionary adaptedness for a number of practical reasons. Broadly, those reasons are: the need for security, the need for some explanation of many puzzling phenomena, and the need to bring together, to give us reason to cooperate. I review a number of hypotheses on the evolutionary origins of religious belief, and I am most attracted to a theory based on sexual selection. Until relatively recently, it was thought and believed by almost all religious traditions that human beings are special. I argue against that view – we are a species, not a ‘chosen’ species. We are not special in any absolute sense. But, like all species, we have our own phenotypical peculiarities, our traits and behavioural predispositions – including the predisposition to believe in ‘strange’ things. Some contemporary atheists have become ‘anti-theists.’ They rail against any nonscientific claim, and insist that religious belief is ‘poisonous.’ I take issue with their ‘rebuttal by ridicule,’ and affirm the value of socio-diversity. I argue that religion is properly based on different criteria than science: there need be no conflict. Religious belief is good because we cannot live without ‘hope,’ and many of us need a faith to provide this hope. Even now that we know many religious beliefs are ill founded, we still need something to ground and center our lives. My thesis is devoted to trying to resolve this apparent paradox: the need to believe without something out there to believe in.
