SECULARISM

This article appears in Volume V24, Page 573 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: SCY-SHA
SECULARISM , a
term
 , applied specially (see SECULAR) to the
system
  of social ethics associated with the name of G. J.
Holyoake
  (q.v.). As the word implies, secularism is based solely on considerations of
practical
  morality with a view to the
physical
 , social and moral improvement of society. It neither affirms nor denies the theistic premises of religion, and is thus a particular variety of
utilitarianism
 .
Holyoake
  founded a society in London which subsequently under the leadership of Charles Bradlaugh advocated the disestablishment of the
Church
 , the abolition of the Second Chamber and other political and economic reforms.
See Holyoake's Principles of Secularism (1885).
