Excerpt from Concise Dictionary of Religious Knowledge and Gazetteer The Editor-in-chief returns his heartfelt thanks to his associates, the Rev. Dr. Chambers and the Rev. Professor Foster, for their eo-operation, which has enabled him to produce a book characterized by accurate scholarship and adaptability to present needs. He also thanks the Rev. F. M. Bird for his numerous biographical sketches, and Mr. Clemens Petersen, who has been the office editor, and whose labors appear on well-nigh every page. Nor would he forget to thank, in this connection, the gentlemen who have contributed the denominational and other leading articles. For its typographical correctness it is indebted to the care and skill of the readers of the Burr Printing House. The object of the book is to furnish, in concise form, information upon biblical, archaeological, ecclesiastical, and historical topics. Hence the vocabu lary has been purposely made very large, and most of the articles very condensed. In order to save valuable space, and also to present readable sketches, those denominations which belong together have been brought under one head, and such articles have been entrusted invariably to a representative man.

In recent surveys, one in four Canadians say they have no religion. A century ago Canada was widely considered to be a Christian nation, and the vast majority of Canadians claimed they were devoutly religious. But some were determined to resist. In the 1920s and ’30s, groups of militant unbelievers formed across Canada to push back against the dominance of religion. Towards a Godless Dominion explores both anti-religious activism and the organized opposition unbelievers faced from Christian Canada during the interwar period. Despite Christianity’s prominence, anti-religious ideas were propagated by lectures in theatres, through newspapers, and out on the streets. Secularist groups in Montreal, Toronto, Winnipeg, and Vancouver actively tried to win people away from religious belief. In the first two cities, they were met with stiff repression by the state, which convicted unbelievers of blasphemous libel, broke up their meetings, and banned atheistic literature from circulating. In the latter two cities unbelievers met social disapproval rather than official persecution. Looking at interwar controversies around religion, such as arguments about faith healing and fundamentalist campaigns against teaching evolution, Elliot Hanowski shows how unbelievers were able to use these conflicts to get their skeptical message across to the public. Challenging the stereotype of Canada as a tolerant, secular nation, Towards a Godless Dominion returns to a time when intolerant forms of Christianity ruled a country that was considered more religious than the United States.
