Honorable Mention, American Sociological Association Section on Religion Distinguished Book Award A rapidly growing number of Americans are embracing life outside the bounds of organized religion. Although America has long been viewed as a fervently religious Christian nation, survey data shows that more and more Americans are identifying as “not religious.” There are more non-religious Americans than ever before, yet social scientists have not adequately studied or typologized secularities, and the lived reality of secular individuals in America has not been astutely analyzed. American Secularism documents how changes to American society have fueled these shifts in the non-religious landscape and examines the diverse and dynamic world of secular Americans. This volume offers a theoretical framework for understanding secularisms. It explores secular Americans’ thought and practice to understand secularisms as worldviews in their own right, not just as negations of religion. Drawing on empirical data, the authors examine how people live secular lives and make meaning outside of organized religion. Joseph O. Baker and Buster G. Smith link secularities to broader issues of social power and organization, |

providing an empirical and cultural perspective on the secular landscape. In so doing, they demonstrate that shifts in American secularism are reflective of changes in the political meanings of “religion” in American culture. American Secularism addresses the contemporary lived reality of secular individuals, outlining forms of secular identity and showing their connection to patterns of family formation, sexuality, and politics, providing scholars of religion with a more comprehensive understanding of worldviews that do not include traditional religion.

Sommario/riassunto |

Nos sociétés modernes ont-elles encore besoin de héros ? Si en Europe de l'Ouest l'héroïsme national est considéré comme une expérience historiquement révolue ou à ce point redéfinie qu'elle en est méconnaissable, à l'Est, les États qui sortent du culte forcé des héros communistes réinventent, plus ou moins intensément, des héros nationaux. Des États-Unis à Israël, de l'Albanie à l'Irlande, de l'émergence enthousiaste de la nation moderne, à la fin du xviiie siècle, jusqu'à la reviviscence nationaliste qui se déroule sous nos yeux, les textes rassemblés dans ce livre tentent de cerner la fabrication d'un héros national, la mise en place d'une portion de panthéon, la liquidation ou la transformation soudaine des héros d'une période... De Napoléon aux parades des Orangistes, de Franco et Mussolini à Mère Teresa, des nouveaux héros guerriers serbes au père Popieluszko, ce parcours nous fait traverser différents espaces culturels, du local au national, de l'école élémentaire aux médias. S'il n'est pas possible à travers ces incarnations particulières de l'héroïcité, de tracer un portrait-robot du héros contemporain, on peut par contre en cerner certaines caractéristiques : la propension au sacrifice, la capacité médiatrice, l'intégration de traits appartenant à des héros antérieurs, l'aptitude à servir des causes parfois contradictoires. Ce livre analyse enfin le passage, aujourd'hui, d'un modèle héroïque d'identification collective à une individualisation et une banalisation dont l'ironie n'est |

pas absente et où le héros devient « homme sans qualités ». Du guerrier aux vertus surhumaines au premier venu, cet ouvrage nous propose, à travers un vaste échantillon de figures héroïques, une réfexion aussi vivante qu'actuelle sur la fabrication des héros. |
