This page groups denominations by whether they still have living adherents today. Wikipedia notes that the Mandaeans "are the last surviving Gnostics from antiquity," a denomination-like religious group reduced to a small surviving remnant. Browsing this way lets a visitor tell a thriving denomination apart from one that has nearly died out.

What Defines This GroupingThe organised bodies of secular humanism: a life-stance grounded in reason, evidence and human dignity without appeal to the supernatural, differing from bare unbelief in being a positive programme with ethical commitments, communities and, in places, state-recognised ceremonies. 2 Learn More
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.
