Report:Nonreligious People Face Discrimination; Include Atheists, Agnostics, Skeptics, Humanists

A new study, called "Reality Check: Being Nonreligious in America," has found that nonreligious people face much discrimination and stigma, the Religion News Service website reports today (May 6, 2020).

The report -- produced by the nonprofit American Atheists -- is the culmination of a survey of nearly 34,000 nonreligious people living in the U.S., including atheists, agnostics, skeptics, and humanists.

Alison Gil, vice president for legal affairs and policy of the American Atheists, said the report gives nuance to the identities of those who are nonreligious.

She added that many people who took the survey detailed instances of discrimination they've faced.
