The [[Golden Age of Freethought]] describes the 19th-century United States socio-political movement which promoted [[freethought]]. Generally speaking, the period from 1875 to 1914 is referred to as "the high-water mark of freethought as an influential movement in American society".<ref>Jacoby, Susan. ''Freethinkers: A History of American Secularism''. New York, NY: Metropolitan Books, p. 151</ref>
Politically, the atheist movement has leaned left in its politics (See: [[Secular left]] and [[Atheism and politics]]). Secular leftist [[utopia]]nism and its exalted view of human nature did not line up with the horrors of the [[World War I]] and the Golden Age of Freethought ended at the start of [[World War I]].
The [[Cold War]] between the United States and the Soviet Union further chilled Americans receptiveness to atheism.
