Why Baby Boomers Turned from Religion takes an in-depth look at the generation of post-WWII babies who came of age in the 1960s, and how they acted as a transitional generation between religious parents and non-religious children and grandchildren, forged different practices and sites of meaning, morality, community, and transcendence.
This book is of particular interest to scholars in sociology and religious studies and is an important contribution to advancing existing scholarship on secularisation, religious change, and decline amongst ex-Anglican Baby Boomers. It is easy to read, and its empirical data provide the reader with a sense of how religious decline can play out on the individual level.
