Worldviews that answer the questions religion answers (what there is, how to live, what to do about death), without a god, and which are included here because they occupy the same ground and can be compared on the same terms. Some are organised, with communities and ceremonies of their own; others are positions rather than institutions.

Overview
What Defines This GroupingConsidered life-stances that answer the questions religion answers - what there is, how to live, what to do about death - without a god, and which can therefore be compared with religions on the same terms. Some are organised; others are positions rather than institutions. 2 Status
Standing as a Comparative CategoryA 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. 3 Learn More
Secular 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.
