Secularology

The study of secular, atheist, and skeptic organizations—both in real life and online—as social constructions that reproduce the same structures as religious or political institutions. Secularology examines how secular communities develop creeds, rituals, hierarchies, and boundary-policing mechanisms, despite often claiming to be purely rational. It asks: how do skeptic organizations handle internal dissent? What functions do atheist conferences serve? How does online secular discourse mimic evangelical fervor? Secularology reveals that 'secular' does not mean 'free of social construction'; secular groups build communities, enforce norms, and exercise power just like any other human institution.
Example: “His secularology research found that online atheist forums had excommunication rituals, sacred texts (Dawkins, Hitchens), and heresy trials—they were a religion in all but name.”

Secularology

The study of secular institutions—especially atheist, skeptic, and secular humanist organizations in real life and online—using Kremlinological methods to map hidden leadership, internal factions, purity spirals, and excommunication rituals. Secularologists analyze conference speaker lineups, donation patterns, social media call‑outs within the community, and the rise of “skeptic” influencers. Like Sovietologists studying party purges, secularologists study how secular communities enforce orthodoxy (rejection of anything “woo”), how they expel heretics (those who question materialism or criticize movement leaders), and how they maintain the appearance of unity despite deep schisms. The field reveals that secularism is not immune to the social dynamics of religion.
Example: "Secularology research traced how a prominent skeptic organization split into two warring factions after a dispute over sexual harassment policies—the excommunications were performed via public threads, and the schism was permanent."
