Paul Harvey Nathan Schneider, ” Beyond Belief: Research in Religion Goes After a New Target, The Secular ,” takes up a topic we’ve discussed here some before: the new scholarly research into secularity. We hit this topic before in covering Phil Zuckerman’s new book Society Without God, and also in looking at the rise of the “nones” in surveys such as ARIS (that is, those answering “no religion” in surveys about personal religiosity)

In India, unfortunately, corruption has become a way of living and it would not be wrong to comment that India ranks amongst the most corrupted countries in the world. Corruption in India is not confined to just government officials and Politicians who are out to make a quick buck but is widespread amongst almost every section of the society. It is sad to see that even those who seem to be religiously inclined are often found indulging in such practices.

Paul Harvey My colleague in the Young Scholars in American Religion program, Tisa Wenger , has had quite a year. First she had baby Dylan; then she (as of the last month) gave birth to her long-awaited new book; and this fall, she will be having a new job: as Assistant Professor of American Religious History at Yale University Divinity School!! Congratulations to Tisa on all three counts. Earlier we had posted a preliminary notice for her (then) forthcoming book We Have a Religion: The 1920s Pueblo Indian Dance Controversy and American Religious Freedom (University of North Carolina Press, 2009 ) ; now that it has forthcome, I’m happy to post this blog interview with the author, who discusses her background growing up in Africa, her interests in the field of religious studies, and her work on Native American religions.

From Examiner.com: Reports say that Stephenie Meyer ’s hit book series Twilight , New Moon , Eclipse , and Breaking Dawn have been removed from a religious bookstore (The Deseret)’s shelves because it has been “met with mixed review” by the store’s customers. According to the report, the store is owned by the Mormon church, and its primary revenue stems from religious book sales. While The Host remains on the shelves, says the report, the Twilight series has been taken from this Mormon bookseller’s listing
