The decades-long rise of the nones — a diverse, hard-to-summarize group — is one of the most talked about phenomena in U.S. religion. They are reshaping America’s religious landscape as we know it.
In U.S. religion today, “the most important story without a shadow of a doubt is the unbelievable rise in the share of Americans who are nonreligious,” said Ryan Burge, a political science professor at Eastern Illinois University and author of “The Nones,” a book on the phenomenon.
I can’t say that I absolutely identify with who they’re describing, as we differ in our belief system. But maybe that’s the point. I stand with them, even if I’m not the same as them. And that’s a beautiful thing.
