Abstract

This article analyzes to what extent atheism and disbelief were extended among the people from different occupations in the city of San José (Costa Rica) at the beginning of the twentieth century. This process was part of the expansion of popular literacy and the efforts of the liberal and radical intellectuals to secularize education, which was highly opposed by the Catholic Church.
