This page groups denominations by the rough size of their following relative to their parent religion. Wikipedia notes that "Sunni Islam is the largest denomination within Islam," a way of ranking denominations that only makes sense measured against each other. Browsing by size lets a visitor see how a smaller denomination compares against the dominant one in its own religion.

Organisations of secular humanism

This small group gathers organised expressions of secular humanism, a non-religious worldview grounded in reason, ethics and human dignity without reference to the supernatural. It appears in the atlas as a coherent life-stance that answers many of the same questions religions do.

The browser will find the humanist and ethical organisations that give the movement institutional form. The entries describe their principles and history, treating humanism as a considered worldview rather than merely the absence of religion.
