The [[Golden Age of Freethought]] describes the 19th-century United States socio-political movement which promoted [[freethought]]/[[atheism]]/[[agnosticism]]. 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.

Secular leftist [[utopia]]nism and its exalted view of human nature did not line up with the horrors of the [[World War I]]. The Golden Age of Freethought ended at the start of World War I. In addition, atheism is negatively correlated with economic/political instability.<ref>[http://questionevolution.blogspot.com/2013/05/economics-and-darwinismatheism.html Economics and atheism]</ref>
