The occurrence and impact of antiatheist stigma appear to differ based on the geography and religiousness of the communities in which atheists live (Frazer et al., 2020; Frost et al., 2022). However, few studies have examined the potentially unique experiences of atheists living in parts of the United States (U.S.) designated as rural. Using a critical, grounded theory approach, the present study interviewed 18 rural-residing atheists about their experiences including antiatheist discrimination, outness, and their psychological well-being. Qualitative interviews resulted in five core categories of responses: (a) Harm to Atheists Living in Rural Communities; (b) Anti-Atheist Stigma Complicates Relationships in Rural Communities; (c) Hiding Atheism as a Primary Strategy for Safety in Rural Communities, (d) Personal Advantages that Promote Health and Safety, and (e) Atheism as a Part of a Healthy and Tolerant Worldview. Participants described a heightened danger to their physical safety, a preference for identity concealment, and barriers to access to health-promoting resources like non-religion-affirming health care and community, particularly in the rural Southern United States. However, conversely, participants also described the health benefits of their nonreligious worldview in the context of the challenges of living as an atheist in a rural community. Implications for future research and recommendations for clinical practice are provided. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2023 APA, all rights reserved).

美国的农村无神论者:一项批判性扎根理论调查。

反无神论者耻辱的发生和影响似乎因无神论者居住社区的地理位置和宗教信仰而异(Frazer 等人,2020;Frost 等人,2022)。然而,很少有研究探讨生活在美国农村地区的无神论者潜在的独特经历。本研究采用批判性、扎根的理论方法,采访了 18 名农村无神论者,了解他们的经历,包括反无神论者的歧视、外在性和心理健康。定性访谈得出了五个核心类别的答复: (a) 对生活在农村社区的无神论者的伤害;(b) 反无神论者的耻辱使农村社区的关系变得复杂;(c) 隐藏无神论作为农村社区安全的主要策略,(d) 促进健康和安全的个人优势,以及 (e) 无神论作为健康和宽容世界观的一部分。参与者描述了他们的人身安全面临的更大危险、对身份隐藏的偏好以及获得健康促进资源(如非宗教肯定的医疗保健和社区)的障碍,特别是在美国南部农村。然而,相反,参与者也描述了在农村社区作为无神论者生活的挑战的背景下,他们的非宗教世界观对健康的益处。提供了对未来研究的启示和对临床实践的建议。(PsycInfo 数据库记录 (c) 2023 APA,保留所有权利)。对身份隐藏的偏好,以及获得健康促进资源(例如非宗教肯定的医疗保健和社区)的障碍,特别是在美国南部农村。然而,相反,参与者也描述了在农村社区作为无神论者生活的挑战的背景下,他们的非宗教世界观对健康的益处。提供了对未来研究的启示和对临床实践的建议。(PsycInfo 数据库记录 (c) 2023 APA,保留所有权利)。对身份隐藏的偏好,以及获得健康促进资源(例如非宗教肯定的医疗保健和社区)的障碍,特别是在美国南部农村。然而,相反,参与者也描述了在农村社区作为无神论者生活的挑战的背景下,他们的非宗教世界观对健康的益处。提供了对未来研究的启示和对临床实践的建议。(PsycInfo 数据库记录 (c) 2023 APA,保留所有权利)。与会者还描述了在农村社区作为无神论者生活所面临的挑战的背景下,他们的非宗教世界观对健康的益处。提供了对未来研究的启示和对临床实践的建议。(PsycInfo 数据库记录 (c) 2023 APA,保留所有权利)。与会者还描述了在农村社区作为无神论者生活所面临的挑战的背景下,他们的非宗教世界观对健康的益处。提供了对未来研究的启示和对临床实践的建议。(PsycInfo 数据库记录 (c) 2023 APA,保留所有权利)。
