Some are organised; others are positions rather than institutions. 2StatusStanding as a Comparative CategoryWell-attestedA standard object of study: non-religion is now researched by the same methods and in the same departments as religion, and the field distinguishes atheism, agnosticism, humanism and indifference rather than treating them as one thing. 3DirectoryCategoryWell-attestedReligions 1Learn MoreSecular and Nontheistic Worldviews This group gathers secular and nontheistic worldviews: considered life-stances that answer the questions religions address (meaning, ethics, the human situation) without appeal to gods or the supernatural. They appear in the atlas because they occupy the same ground as religion in human life. The browser will find worldviews such as secular humanism, atheism and related stances. The atlas treats each as a coherent position with its own history and reasoning, not merely as the absence of belief.All Secular / NontheisticFilter Results6 entriesPlace of OriginAllEngland (2)India (1)United States (2)Western Europe (1)DenominationsAllAmerican Humanist Association (1)Ethical Culture (1)Humanists International (1)New Atheism (1)ScripturesAllCatechism of Positive Religion (1)Systeme de politique positive (1)The Age of Reason (1)Founded ByAllAuguste Comte (1)Origin EraAll-500 (1)1620 (1)1849 (1)1869 (1)1933 (1)1961 (1)Conception of the DivineAllAgnostic: the question held unresolved (1)Atheistic: no god (1)Deistic: a creator who does not intervene (1)Non-theistic: no creator god is central (2)Status TodayAllLiving tradition, practised today (4)Closed Practice StatusAllLiving, and practised in varied local forms (1)Giving Obligation EnforceabilityAllCustomary Norm (2)Sexuality PositionAllSame-sex marriage is performed and LGBT clergy are ordained on equal terms with heterosexual clergy (1)Kind of TraditionAllSecular / Nontheistic (3)Show ResultsBrowseCompareSelect all 6AgnosticismSecular / NontheisticAtheismSecular / NontheisticDeismSecular / NontheisticReligion of HumanitySecular / NontheisticSecular HumanismSecular / NontheisticUnitarian UniversalismSecular / NontheisticSources1.
