    When Americans are asked to check a box
    indicating their religious affiliation, 28%
    now check 'none.'

    A new study from Pew Research finds that the
    religiously unaffiliated – a group comprised
    of atheists, agnostic and those who say
    their religion is "nothing in particular" –
    is now the largest cohort in the U.S.
    They're more prevalent among American adults
    than Catholics (23%) or evangelical
    Protestants (24%).

    Back in 2007, Nones made up just 16% of
    Americans, but Pew's new survey of more than
    3,300 U.S. adults shows that number has now
    risen dramatically.

    Researchers refer to this group as the
    "Nones."
