This study sociologically analyzes the freethought movement in Switzerland in two main themes: firstly, it paints a comprehensive picture of the movement, with a special emphasis on mobilization, the structure of membership, collective identity, and activism. Secondly, it embeds its object of study within an environment that was shaped by secularization and the politicization of the religious.
