Unbelievers

In Unbelievers, Alec Ryrie explores how and why societies that were once predominantly Christian have become increasingly secular, emphasizing that people's shift away from faith often stems from emotional and cultural influences rather than purely intellectual arguments. Tracing history from the Reformation and beyond, the book examines how doubts, anger, and anxiety led individuals and thinkers alike to question traditional beliefs, ultimately fueling secularization. Through vivid stories from a wide range of voices, Ryrie offers a compelling emotional history of doubt that resonates with contemporary issues of faith and unbelief.
