The Secular Northwest: Religion and Irreligion in Everyday Postwar Life by Tina Block (Hardcover, 2016)

About this product

About this product

Product Information

The image of a rough frontier - where working men were tempted away from church on Sundays by more profane concerns - was perpetuated by postwar religious leaders troubled by the decline in church involvement. Tina Block debunks the myth of a godless frontier, revealing a Pacific Northwest that rejected organized religion - but not necessarily God. Not just working men but also women, families, and middle-class communities helped to shape the region's secular identity. Drawing on oral histories, census data, newspapers, and archival sources, Block launches this exploration of Northwest secularity and the independent spirit of those who chose to live irreligiously.
