Acknowledgements
We would like to thank everyone involved in the first NSRN conference (as discussed in this introduction) for their contributions and support. We would also like to thank Elisabeth Arweck for her work on this special issue of the Journal of Contemporary Religion—for her remarkable enthusiasm, generosity, and guidance, without which it would not have been achieved.
Notes
1. In keeping with the Journal's convention and for the sake of consistency, the terms ‘non-religion’, ‘non-religious’, and ‘non-religiosity’ will be used in their hyphenated forms throughout, unless the un-hyphenated form is used in the names of particular organisations and their related activities, e.g. the “Nonreligion and Secularity Research Network” and the conference which was organised under the title “Nonreligion and Secularity: New Empirical Perspectives”.
