Sep 30, 2013 07:33 UTC INTERVIEW: Pussy Riot - Nothing sacred or nothing sinister? It is notable that anti-blasphemy laws exist in Austria, Denmark, Finland, Greece, Italy, Liechtenstein, Iceland, San Marino and the UK. There are also laws on "religious insult" in two dozen of European nations. The International Blasphemy Rights Day was founded on September 30, 2009. It was the fourth anniversary of the publication of satirical drawings of Muhammad in Danish newspaper Jyllands-Posten. That the same day in 2005 saw numerous violent protests started in many countries as Muslims reacted to this ‘blasphemy’. At least 200 people were killed, Embassies burned, and other acts of recrimination carried out. Blasphemy Day is said to be one in which religious beliefs should be subject to examination and criticism in the same way as political beliefs are, and there should be no taboo on religion as well. To know the Russian perspective on the question of blasphemy gbtimes asks Yaroslav Nikitenko, a Russian activist, who is closely connected with the scandalously famous so-called 'punk-rock group' Pussy Riot.

Atheisms Unbound: the Role of the New Media in the Formation of a Secularist Identity
Atheisms Unbound: The Role of the New Media in the Formation of a Secularist Identity Christopher Smith1 Independent Scholar Richard Cimino Hofstra University ABSTRACT: In this article we examine the Internet’s role in facilitating a more visible and active secu- lar identity. Seeking to situate this more visible and active secularist presence—which we consider a form of activism in terms of promoting the importance of secularist concerns and issues in public dis- course—we conclude by looking briefly at the relationship between secularist cyber activism and secu- lar organizations, on one hand, and the relationship between secularist activism and American politics on the other. This allows us to further underscore the importance of the Internet for contemporary sec- ularists as it helps develop a group consciousness based around broadly similar agendas and ideas and secularists’ recognition of their commonality and their expression in collective action, online as well as off. KEYWORDS: NEW MEDIA, ATHEISM, INTERNET, SECULARISM 1 Correspondence concerning this article should be addressed to: Christopher Smith, [email protected] m .

ATHEISMS UNBOUND SMITH AND CIMINO Introduction In recent years many websites and blogs promoting, discussing, referencing, reflecting on, and cri- tiquing atheism have appeared. Such sites have opened up an active space for atheists to construct and share mutual concerns about their situation at a time when American public life is still largely function- ing under a norm of religiosity in many contexts (Cimino & Smith, 2011).

Drawing Lines and Taking Sides: An Examination of Boundary Work among Oppositional Worldviews By Aislinn R. Addington Submitted to the graduate degree program in Sociology and the Graduate Faculty of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. ________________________________ Chairperson Brian Donovan ________________________________ Kelly Chong ________________________________ Lynn Davidman ________________________________ David J. Ekerdt ________________________________ Alesha Doan Date Defended: October 21, 2015 ii The Dissertation Committee for Aislinn R. Addington certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: Drawing Lines and Taking Sides: An Examination of Boundary Work among Oppositional Worldviews ________________________________ Chairperson Brian Donovan Date approved: October 21, 2015 iii ABSTRACT Christians and atheists have clashed publicly over ideological tensions throughout the history of the United States. Active atheists and evangelical Christians have, and continue to, vie for legitimacy and access to power, often at the expense of those with whom they disagree. This research investigates identity, boundary work, and the relationship to the “other” between and within these two oppositional ideologies. Findings demonstrate how, in a variety of situations and settings, these two groups not only “other” each other, but use their “other” to bolster their own ideological community. The presence of a group with an oppositional worldview allows each community to further define itself, and individuals within each group to define and refine their own identity within the group. The data for this research is made up of 45 interviews and multiple sessions of participant observation. After analyzing the data, four substantive areas emerged as prominent fields for boundary work within and between both groups: Boundaries and Solidarity, Boundaries and Morality, Boundaries and Gender, and Boundaries and Technology.
