19th century

This page groups denominations by the era in which they broke away or formed. Wikipedia notes that Protestantism "separated from the Catholic Church in the 16th-century Protestant Reformation." Browsing by origin era lets a visitor see which denominations are centuries old and which split off only recently.

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.
