28% of Americans are now religiously unaffiliated. A new study from Pew Research looks at how atheists, agnostics and those whose religion is “nothing in particular” view God, religion and morality.
Not a new article, but I find it reassuring sometimes knowing how many people identity as not having a religion.
Unfortunately when it comes to us “Nones” the Christians - and a bunch of other theists - fucking love ganging up on us. They view us as an existential threat to their whole worldview, because if we can be decent human beings without a higher authority or threat of eternal damnation, they might start having to think for themselves - and they just can’t cope with that kind of cognitive dissonance.
