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."
