| Abstract | This article explores the development of religious discourse surrounding the experiences of the atomic bombings of 1945. Although there have been attempts to discuss the ethics of the use of the bomb and nuclear weaponry from theological perspectives, little exists in the way of religious approaches to the experiences of those who suffered directly from the atomic bombings. I argue that religious understandings can and should contribute to the existing atomic bomb discourse, which is largely determined by a nation-state framework. |
