Etymology
The term 'nonreligious' emerged in the mid-20th century as a way to describe individuals or groups who do not adhere to any specific religion or belief system. With the rise of secularism and the decline of traditional religious institutions, the concept of being nonreligious has become more widely accepted in contemporary society. Nonreligious individuals may still hold spiritual or moral beliefs, but they choose not to affiliate with organized religion.
