Abstract

The (re)emergence of religion in diverse modern societies challenges secularism. Atheism and other forms of religious nonbelief are on the rise as well. This paper an- alyzes atheism as a part of the religious trend. Even if freedom of religion connotates freedom from religion, it does not mean that atheism and religion are to be treated the same. Legal protections of theistic and atheistic groups must consider their peculiar features, as case studies from Europe and Italy demonstrate.
