Via the Boston Globe comes news of a couple of new networks for research into atheism and secularism.<\/p>\n

In the UK, there\u2019s the Non-Religion and Secularity Research Network<\/a>. This was set up in November last year by Lois Lee, a sociology graduate student at Cambridge University. The idea is to centralise and facilitate non-religion and secularity research, and they have a conference scheduled for later this year.<\/p>\n

In the USA, the Center for Atheist Research<\/a> is looking to investigate the atheist experience in the US, where they are a decided minority. To kick off, there\u2019s a few surveys on the home that they\u2019re asking visitors to fill in.<\/p>\n
