From Atla, a membership association of collectors and connectors in religion and theology, Religion and Social Change includes authors ranging from devoutly religious to staunchly secular 19th century thinkers.

Notable authors include Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Emile Durkheim, Soren Kierkegaard, Charles Darwin, Harriet Beecher Stowe, Immanuel Kant, Ralph Waldo Emerson and many more.
