Interesting, I didn't know about the Amish.
There are communities like the Amish but without the religious beliefs?
I will be interested to join, but replace the religion with some secular spiritual exploration.

I might set about researching communes in the US.
There's some that are quite well run. I wish I could find the link now, there was one in Appalachia which was doing quite well some years back.
While it doesn't count as non-religious, the Hutterites are quite interesting, as they are from another branch of the Anabaptist faith. And growing too, at a time where the Amish don't seem to be!
The article says the Amish are doubling in population every 20 years.
