There has been a dramatic increase in the percentage of the US
population that is not religious. However, there is, to date, very
little research on the social movement that is organizing to serve
the needs of and advocate for the nonreligious in the US. This is a
book about the rise and structure of organized secularism in the
United States. By organized secularism we mean the efforts of
nonreligious individuals to build institutions, networks, and
ultimately a movement that serves their interests in a
predominantly religious society. Researchers from various fields
address questions such as: What secularist organizations exist? Who
are the members of these organizations? What kinds of organizations
do they create? What functions do these organizations provide for
their members? How do the secularist organizations of today compare
to those of the past? And what is their likely impact on the future
of secularism? For anyone trying to understand the rise of the
nonreligious in the US, this book will provide valuable insights
into organized efforts to normalize their worldview and advocate
for their equal treatment in society.
