In recent years much has been written about the rise of the
€śnones€ť€”people who check the box for €śnone€ť on surveys of religious
affiliation. A 2013 Harris Poll of 2,250 American adults, for example,
found that 23 percent of all Americans have forsaken religion
altogether. A 2015 Pew Research Center poll reported that 34 to 36
percent of millennials (those born after 1980) are nones and
corroborated the 23 percent figure, adding that this was a dramatic
increase from 2007, when only 16 percent of Americans said they were
affiliated with no religion. In raw numbers, this translates to an
increase from 36.6 million to 55.8 million nones.
