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. 410 0$aReligion and Its Others 606 $aSecularism$zUnited States 606 $aAtheismus 606 $aSecularism 606 $aSäkularisierung 606 $aSäkularismus 606 $aatheism 606 $asecularization 606 $asocial movements 606 $asoziale Bewegungen 606 $3(DE-601)10446674X$3(DE-588)4055707-8$aSoziale Bewegung$2gnd 606 $3(DE-601)105346411$3(DE-588)4177742-6$aReligionslosigkeit$2gnd 606 $3(DE-601)106178008$3(DE-588)4051238-1$aSäkularisierung$2gnd 606 $3(DE-601)106187155$3(DE-588)4049396-9$aReligion$2gnd 606 $3(DE-601)106389815$3(DE-588)4003364-8$aAtheismus$2gnd 606 $aRELIGION / Atheism$2bisacsh 607 $aUnited States$xReligion 610 $aSecularism. 610 $aatheism. 610 $asecularization. 610 $asocial movements. 615 0$aSecularism 615 4$aAtheismus. 615 4$aSecularism. 615 4$aSäkularisierung. 615 4$aSäkularismus. 615 4$aatheism. 615 4$asecularization. 615 4$asocial movements. 615 4$asoziale Bewegungen. 615 7$aSoziale Bewegung 615 7$aReligionslosigkeit 615 7$aSäkularisierung 615 7$aReligion 615 7$aAtheismus 615 7$aRELIGION / Atheism. 676 $a211/.60973 700 $aFazzino$b Lori L$4auth$01434584 702 $aCragun$b Ryan T., 702 $aFazzino$b Lori L., 702 $aManning$b Christel, 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996309057303316 996 $aOrganized Secularism in the United States$93589395 997 $aUNISA
