Some experts call nonreligion, after Christianity and Islam, the third largest "faith" in the world today.

An overview essay discusses the background and social and political contexts of unbelief, while a timeline highlights key events.

The volume closes with an annotated bibliography of the most important resources on atheism and agnosticism.
