Total Atheism by Stefan Binder

Exploring lived atheism in the South Indian states of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, this book offers a unique insight into India's rapidly transforming multi-religious society and develops an alternative to Eurocentric accounts of secularity...

“This is a very useful and innovative study on a little-known, but important facet of Indian social and political activism…The endeavour of questioning the naturalisation of secularism and secularity so often undertaken in anthropological scholarship is eminently laudableThe study opens up further research questions and lanes of comparison which it would be worthwhile to follow up.” • Anthropos

“This is an absolutely wonderful work of ethnography. Binder’s captivating and conceptually brilliant book sets the standard for future work on the anthropology of non-religion.” • Jacob Copeman, coauthor of Hematologies: The Political Life of Blood in India.
