The great polarization
Occasionally we at Secular Right receive emails as to the agenda or manifesto behind this website. Since this is a collective of varied opinions we can not naturally offer a creed or statement of beliefs which is very thick. In … Continue reading
Convictions matter
Tom Rees reports on data which suggests that people with firmer convictions, atheists and theists, tend to be happier. The methodological issue is that since sample sizes are small for those who are not religious in the United States those … Continue reading

Limousine liberals out of touch?
In the post below a few people asked about comparisons with Democrats. So I decided to add Dems to the columns, so there are 4 classes, Dems without college degrees, Dems with college degrees or higher, Repubs without college degrees … Continue reading
Religion & the welfare state
The fact that high levels of religion tend to be inversely correlated with per capita government social spending is well known on an international scale. But it doesn’t seem true for American states.
