The history of atheism and agnosticism are not very well-tread topics, even in the 21st century. To study such things, even in the past 30-40 years, has been seen as reckless and even dangerous, especially for those academics looking for tenured positions. This, however, leaves a lacuna of historic information for those who have the wherewithal to subvert traditional academic restraints.
1. ''A Secular Age'' by Charles Taylor – This book is ''dense'', but worthwhile. It contains phrases that would make even the most senior academic roll their eyes. But, despite Taylor’s somewhat arrogant prose, this work is a must-read for anyone interested in the rise of secularism in the Western world.
