One of the definitions for alternative, which is appropriate for this subforum is...

b. Espousing or reflecting values that are different from those of the establishment or mainstream
There are many "alternative" lifestyles out there. I consider my religion to be outside the norm of mainstream American society. I also consider my views on children to be outside of the "norm". Thus alternative.
