National Secular Society (NSS)

The National Secular Society (NSS) is a UK-based organization that advocates for the separation of religion from political and public life. Founded in 1866, its mission is to promote secularism—ensuring that government policies and laws are free from religious influence. The NSS works to protect individual freedoms, support equality, and uphold human rights, emphasizing that everyone should be free to practice any religion or none at all. It campaigns against religious privilege in public services and education, aiming for a society where belief and non-belief are treated equally.
