A broader field than atheism studies, encompassing all forms of religious disaffiliation, non‑belief, and religious indifference—including agnosticism, apatheism, secular humanism, and spiritual but not religious. The social sciences of irreligion draw on sociology, anthropology, and political science to understand why irreligion is growing in some societies and not others, how irreligious people construct meaning and ethics, and how they organize collectively. It also examines the social costs and benefits of irreligion, and how irreligious people navigate family, work, and civic life in religiously dominated spaces.
