Atheism in the African Diaspora is atheism as it is experienced by black people outside of Africa. In the United States, blacks are less likely to be religiously unaffiliated, let alone identifying as atheist or "none." The demographics are similar in the United Kingdom. Atheists are individuals who do not hold a belief in a god or in a plurality of gods. Some, but not all, atheists identify as secular humanists, who are individuals who believe that life has meaning and joy without the need for the supernatural or religion and that all individuals should live ethical lives which can provide for the greater good of humanity. Black atheists and secular humanists exist today and in history, though many were not always vocal in their beliefs or lack of belief.
