The American Secular Union (ASU, also sometimes called the "American Secular Union and Freethought Federation") espoused
secularism and freethought at the end of the 19th century in the United States of America.
As the National Liberal League suffered crippling factionalism and radicalization over the period 1878 to 1885, liberals reorganized in a nonpolitical "American Secular Union" in 1884. Colonel Robert Green Ingersoll (1833-1899) served as the first president of the Union.
The American Secular Union and Freethought Federation dedicated themselves to the separation of church and state, and for its platform used the nine demands of liberalism, namely:
that churches and other ecclesiastical property shall be no longer exempt from taxation;
that the employment of chaplains in the United States Congress, in state legislaturessin the United States Army and United States Navy, and in prisons, asylums, and all institutions supported by public money, shall be discontinued, and that all religious services maintained by national, state, or municipal governments shall be abolished;
that all public appropriations for educational and charitable institutions of a sectarian character shall cease
