Focusing on the development of 'Secularism' founded by George Jacob Holyoake, this work reexamines the secularization thesis of the nineteenth century. It positions Holyoake's movement as a pivotal moment in modernity, reshaping the understanding of secular thought. The book also explores related secular trends, including Thomas Carlyle's 'natural supernaturalism', Richard Carlile's science advocacy, Charles Lyell's geological principles, Francis Newman's naturalized religion, and George Eliot's contributions to secularism and post-secularism.
