520 |a The pseudonymous Sheila Larson is well known among sociologists of religion for having coined the term “Sheilaism” to refer to her personal belief system — an individualistic religiosity that has concerned many social commentators.

Working from interviews with lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender Christians and former Christians, this article contributes two new angles to such discussions by 1) arguing for a more nuanced understanding of individualism as a tool or tactic rather than as the diametric opposite of religious communalism and 2) exploring the role of such individualism in the lives of those who are forced into it.
