A U.S. organization supporting nonreligious student groups reports a
growing number of such groups on campuses at the start of the fall 2010
term.
According to the Secular Student Alliance, a record 219 groups offered
atheist and agnostic students an alternative to religious ministries on
campus. There were 159 such groups in 2009 and 100 in 2008.
The trend toward increased secularism on campus reflects a broader
trend in U.S. society, according to the Alliance. The 2008 American
Religious Identification Survey showed that the secular demographic was
the only group to have grown in every state since 1990.
