Praise
“A straightforward, lighthearted introduction to the many ways in which religion—particularly white European Christianity—shapes the world around us.”
—Booklist
“Religion Is Not Done with You is a productively enraging and often hilarious invitation to take religion seriously. Whether they’re comparing religion to the Boston Red Sox or demonstrating how European imperialist understandings of religion literally redrew our present-day maps, Ilyse and Megan imbue this book with the same combination of deep academic expertise and irreverent feminist killjoy spirit that has made their award-winning podcast Keeping It 101 so popular. Along the way, they provide the reader with all the critical tools we need to engage with how religion shapes our culture, politics, institutions, and even our time.”
—Hannah McGregor, author of Clever Girl and cohost of the Material Girls podcast
“Religion Is Not Done with You asks readers to think beyond superficial understandings of what religion is and into deeper understandings of what religion does, how it surrounds us, and how it shapes our world. Like a delightful conversation with smart friends, this book entertains and informs while it also leaves you wiser than you were before.”
—Kaya Oakes, author of Not So Sorry
“This book is as hilarious as it is insightful. I couldn’t put it down, and I’m sure my students won’t be able to either.”
—Simran Jeet Singh, author of The Light We Give
“As an atheist religion professor, I try to show students that studying religion isn’t just for people who identify as religious. In Religion Is Not Done with You, Megan Goodwin and Ilyse Morgenstein Fuerst show exactly why this is so. In clear, accessible writing grounded in concrete examples and compelling metaphors, Goodwin and Morgenstein Fuerst convincingly argue that because religion touches countless aspects of our lives, it’s something that all of us–religious, nonreligious, or somewhere in between–should seek to understand. Fortunately, Goodwin and Morgenstein Fuerst have created the perfect resource for those looking to take the first step.”
—Chris Stedman, author of Faitheist and host and writer of the podcast Unread
