Jacqui Frost studies religion and nonreligion in American society, focusing on how nonreligious people and communities (such as atheists and secular congregations) build identity, meaning, and community life without traditional religious belief. Their work also examines how religious and nonreligious identities intersect with race, gender, discrimination, and workplace or civic life. This research uses sociological methods to understand how people construct meaning, ritual, and belonging both inside and outside organized religion.
