"Among the successes of The Nonreligious is that the authors employ a highly readable style while effectively synthesizing a wide range of research in anthropology, psychology, religious studies, and sociology as well as sharing stories of people who see themselves as variously nonreligious... Overall, the authors have made an important contribution to our understanding of nonreligion that will be of value to those beginning an exploration of secular culture and society and individual practice." - Elizabeth Drescher, Horizons: The Journal of the College Theology Society

"The uncluttered and highly readable prose combined with rigorous engagement of existing literatures makes it accessible and useful for educated lay readers, undergraduates, graduate students, and academics. The Nonreligious is destined to become the go-to primer and starting point for those interested in the empirical study of secularities." - Sociology of Religion
