LINK What Does Religious Liberty Mean to the Unaffiliated? - TheHumanist.com

the long road to equal status of secular conscience with religious conscience should remind us of two things. The first is that equality for nonbelievers is a very recent development amid a longer history of privilege for churches. The second is that the trend has been to accommodate religious diversity in the law, and to include belief systems that don’t conform to formal church creeds and that don’t arise from church membership. Religious institutions still have many special privileges in the law, but, as the history of conscientious objection makes clear and as Justice Kennedy’s call to treat religious and nonreligious consciences reinforces, the future looks good for the “Nones.”

It means the valid assertion of freedom from religion, if one so chooses.
