In Brazil, a predominantly Catholic country with significant Protestant growth, 'irreligiosidade' is used in academic and philosophical discussions but remains relatively neutral. The term gained prominence during the 20th century with increased secularization. In the USA, 'irreligion' has become more common with rising numbers of 'nones' (religiously unaffiliated), particularly among younger demographics. The word is distinct from atheism in that it emphasizes absence rather than active denial.
