This is exceptionally insightful research that captures the complexity of non-believing older adults. Malone's unique contribution is the sensitive and nuanced manner in which she details the dynamic nature of non-belief in a population that has been largely overlooked in this field of study. This book is a major contribution to our understanding of the substantive content of nonreligion.

Malone offers a thoughtful and nuanced look at elderly non-religious people, a segment
often neglected in the growing literature on the Nones. By so doing, she illuminates the
impact of time and the social nature of their worldviews.

This engaging book presents a careful and detailed study of the lived experiences of 'non-believing' older adults. Malone challenges dominant secularization theories and offers up valuable insights on indifference, the role of choice and 'liberal ideals', familial transmission of worldviews, and more, making this an invaluable addition to non-religion studies.

This book offers a deeply human but also theoretically radical account of non-believing older adults, ushered by Malone into centre-stage as elders within secular traditions. In so doing, she upends some of our most entrenched assumptions about religion and atheism. Essential reading.
