This chapter uses Montreal Pagan life histories to show how queer practitioners articulate spirituality in relation to Quebec’s secularization narratives. Rather than collapsing spirituality into either religion or secularity, it treats it as a live identity category with its own social force.
The argument is useful in the archive because it links queer religiosity to wider questions about modernity, secularity, and public intelligibility. That makes it one of the clearest bridges between the earlier community research and broader debates about lived religion.
The contributor bio states that Lepage received a PhD in religious studies from UQAM in 2017 and is currently an independent researcher. The full chapter is paywalled, but preview pages are open.
