A Pew Research study reveals that 28% of U.S. adults are now religiously unaffiliated, surpassing Catholics and evangelical Protestants.

This group, known as “Nones,” includes atheists, agnostics, and those with no particular religious affiliation. Nones only made up 16% of the population in 2007.

Most Nones believe in a higher power but rarely attend religious services, and they tend to lean liberal and Democratic politically.

The Nones are predominantly young, Caucasian, and male, with atheists and agnostics more likely to be politically active than those who identify as “nothing in particular.”
