Through Singapore, Secular state and Humanism
Singapore's non-religious tend to be atheists, agnostics, humanists, theists, deists or skeptics. Some locals affiliate with no religion, but will still continue practicing traditional rituals like ancestral worship, which they do not necessarily regard as religious in essence. The number of non-religious people in Singapore has risen. Census reports show that those who said they have no religion rose from 13% in 1980 to 24% in 2025. In recent years, social gatherings of non-religious people have become more popular in Singapore.
Humanist Society of Singapore
In 2008, the Singapore Humanism Meetup was formed as a social network of secular humanists, atheists and agnostics. In October 2010, the Humanist Society (Singapore) became the first humanist group to be gazetted as a society. Many pioneer members of the society met at gatherings organised by the Singapore Humanism Meetup.
