    • Atheist Democracy (Italian: Democrazia Atea, DA) is a political party in Italy. Its ideology includes secularism, atheism, and anticlericalism.

    Among the main goals, it campaigns for the abolition of the Lateran Treaty between Italy and the Vatican City.[1]

    The party was founded by Carla Corsetti in 2009;[2] As of October 2022, Corsetti is the current secretary; others members of the secretariat are Ciro Verrati, Ivan Visentini, Rosaria Gabriele, Cai Bravi.[3]

    The party requires all candidates for public office to give proof of debaptism (sbattezzo in Italian).[4] In Italy, many newborn receive baptism; debaptism is a formal procedure to declare oneself no longer part of the Catholic Church.

    Widely renowned astrophysicist and scientific communicator Margherita Hack was a member of Atheist Democracy; in 2013 she also ran unsuccessfully for the Italian parliament with the party.[4][5]

    Marco Dimitri also ran for office in 2013 with AD; being Satanist, his move drew some criticism.[6]

    In 2018, Atheist Democracy entered the Power to the People! coalition, also inserting the abolition of Lateran Treaty in the shared political program;[1] this affiliation was interrupted in May 2021.[7]

    On 1 July 2022, Atheist Democracy, together with far-left parties and organizations (Confederation of the Italian Left, Inventing the Future, The Future City, Italian Communist Party, CARC Party and Italian Marxist-Leninist Party), became part of the "Popular Unity" coordination, with the aim of elaborating and implementing common and shared initiatives and proposals.[8]
