Science and Non-religion - Dr Lois Lee

In this episode, we talk with Dr Lois Lee about the relationship
between science and non-religion and the perceived affinity
between the two. Through her ground-breaking research on
non-religion and unbelief, Lois discusses the role that science
plays in lives of the non-religious and how this role varies
across different non-religious groups. Drawing on empirical
research and disaggregating what it means to be non-religious,
Lois reveals the myriad ways science is and is not intertwined
within the cultural and social identities of the non-religious
and how this interrelation can be related to different
existential outlooks.


Dr Lois Lee is a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Religious
Studies at the University of Kent, and is the Principal
Investigator on the Understanding Unbelief programme. You can
