In The Nones: Where They Came From, Who They Are, and Where They Are Going, Ryan P. In 1972, just 5 percent of Americans claimed "no religion" on the General Social Survey. Burge details a comprehensive picture of an increasingly significant group--Americans who say they have no religious affiliation.The growth of the nones in American society has been dramatic.
Every indication is that the nones will be the largest religious group in the United States in the next decade.Burge illustrates his precise but accessible descriptions with charts and graphs drawn from over a dozen carefully curated datasets, some tracking changes in American religion over a long period of time, others large enough to allow a statistical deep dive on subgroups In 2018, that number rose to 23.7 percent, making the nones as numerous as both evangelical Protestants and Roman Catholics.
