Country chapter updated 9 February 2026 · retrieved September 5, 2026. Its assessments are not confirmation of current law or a prediction about your circumstances.
Freedom of expression, advocacy of humanist values
The Trump Administration continues to make a concerted effort to redefine the scope of free expression and constitutional rights, advancing a political and religious agenda that critics argue challenges longstanding democratic norms. Across multiple fronts, the executive branch has undermined established legal precedents, implemented policies controlling information and language, and weaponized government agencies to target dissent. These actions have involved renewed calls to criminalize flag burning, sweeping censorship plans, and the targeting of immigrants for exercising their freedom of speech and belief. This is part of a systematic strategy to subordinate individual freedoms to a specific ideology and these efforts are not isolated incidents, but part of a broader campaign to consolidate power and reshape the foundation of a free society.
Education and children’s rights
The role of religion in U.S. public schools continues to be a source of heated debate, a tension that has escalated over decades. Following his re-election, President Trump appointed Linda McMahon as Secretary of Education, signaling continued support for school privatization and other policies criticized for undermining public education.
The Non-religious in Congress and Public Service
Amid this cultural and political landscape, the Congressional Freethought Caucus, founded in 2018, remains a vital voice for non-religious Americans in the federal government. The caucus’s mission is to promote science and reason-based policy solutions, defend the secular character of government, and oppose discrimination against atheists, agnostics, humanists, and others. The caucus has been particularly active in opposition to the rise of religious nationalism, hosting briefings and releasing white papers on the subject.

Which United States findings should I check before acting?
Rage 2 Rebuild highlights 4 published findings for purpose and ordinary life in United States. Our selection connects the 9 February 2026 chapter with belonging, education and freedom to choose a meaningful commitment. Each quote is separate from our practical question. It identifies something to investigate, not a conclusion about your household.
Expression of core humanist principles on democracy, freedom or human rights is somewhat restricted
This is a published assessment of institutions, not an individual outcome or a current legal determination.
A question to verify: Which part of this assessment applies to the actual decision, and what still needs current local verification?
Localised or infrequent but recurring and widespread social marginalisation or prejudice against the non-religious
The report describes social or institutional pressure. That context matters, but it cannot predict the response of one family or community.
A question to verify: Who would learn about the decision, and what essential support could change if that happened?
Some concerns about political or media freedoms, not specific to the non-religious
This is a published assessment of institutions, not an individual outcome or a current legal determination.
A question to verify: Which part of this assessment applies to the actual decision, and what still needs current local verification?
Use of Conscientious Objection clauses resulting in the denial of lawful services to women and LGBTI+ people
The report identifies a service-access or equality issue. A formal option does not by itself establish that a particular person can use it in practice.
A question to verify: What provider, rule and practical barrier apply to the service or opportunity being considered?
Where can meaning begin when religion no longer organizes life?
For purpose and ordinary life in United States, Rage 2 Rebuild suggests this decision: Choose a commitment small enough to try and meaningful enough to evaluate. The two starting points below address belonging, education and freedom to choose a meaningful commitment. Check consequential facts with appropriate current help; these are reflection prompts, not a certified procedure.
Start with what deserves attention now
What do you want to care for, understand, make or improve? The answer can be modest: a relationship, a skill, a place or a responsibility. A chosen commitment does not need to answer every question about the universe in order to be worthwhile.
Give the week a shape without creating another rigid rulebook
Religion may have supplied recurring meetings, service, study, rest and celebration. Identify the functions you miss rather than automatically copying the schedule. You may need friendship more than another lecture, or rest more than a new discipline.

How did religious identity change in United States?
Rage 2 Rebuild’s United States table shows 16.5% religiously unaffiliated in 2010 and 29.7% in 2020, using Pew’s all-age population estimates. The seven categories describe religious identity, not how many individuals left religion or experienced harm. Rounded population changes cannot predict acceptance, guilt, safety or a support outcome.
| Identity | 2010 | 2020 | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Christian | 78.3% | 64.0% | -14.3 pp |
| Muslim | 0.9% | 1.2% | +0.3 pp |
| Religiously unaffiliated | 16.5% | 29.7% | +13.2 pp |
| Buddhist | 1.2% | 1.3% | +0.1 pp |
| Hindu | 0.6% | 0.9% | +0.3 pp |
| Jewish | 1.8% | 1.7% | -0.1 pp |
| Other religions | 0.8% | 1.2% | +0.4 pp |
“Other religions” combines traditions that cannot be analyzed separately here. A “less than” input stays an inequality; a change involving it is not calculated. Rounding and demographic processes matter. Nationality does not establish anyone’s beliefs.
