American atheism
American atheism refers to the absence of belief in gods among individuals in the United States. It encompasses a diverse range of perspectives, from secular humanism and skepticism to more organized movements advocating for the separation of church and state. Many American atheists focus on reason, science, and ethical living without reliance on religious doctrines. While historically marginalized, atheism has gained visibility in recent years, with increasing public acceptance and representation. Organizations like the American Atheists and the Secular Student Alliance work to promote atheism and advocate for secular policies in society.
