The National Secular Society is a membership-based organisation campaigning for a freer, fairer, more tolerant society.
Founded in 1866, we've been at the forefront of advocating for the separation of religion and state, safeguarding freedom of belief, and promoting a truly inclusive and fair society for all.
We promote secularism as a vital principle that upholds individual freedoms, protects human rights, and fosters a fair and open society, in which people of all religions and none can live together as equal citizens.
We know that where any religion is privileged, people's freedoms suffer.
