Beyond Atheism: Finding Meaning in the Secular Age
Dr. John Vervaeke
Communities Emerge from Authentic Seeking
There is a noticeable shift towards a quest for deeper connection and transcendence, reflected in the rise of communities and practices that address a collective desire to move beyond egocentric living. A growing demographic of individuals, identified as 'nuns'—those with no official religion—represents a significant movement in the U.S. towards alternative spiritual exploration, indicating a transformative change in societal beliefs. These individuals are characterized not as staunch atheists but as seekers who are open to new ideas and experiences. The change anticipated in spirituality and community cannot be imposed through top-down ideologies; it must develop organically from grassroots movements, as new narratives and practices arise from authentic engagements among people.
