| Zusammenfassung: | This work explores identity development among members of the Atheist Station, a meeting place for agnostics, secular humanists and atheists in rural, southwest-central Pennsylvania. Utilizing the research and conceptual framework provided by "communities of practice" social learning theory, this work attempts to better understand member participation, meaning-making and the subsequent development of an atheist identity taking place within this highly marginalized group. |
