Thought we were done with the 'nones'? The latest analysis of the religiously unaffiliated in the US, who have been the subject of scrutiny and alarm for a dozen years now, proposes further subcategories with nifty names: 20% NiNOs, 36% SBNRs, 34% Dones, 10% Zealous Atheists.
Come "After Religion" next spring, we'll have to fold this analysis together with the story that religious disaffiliation has
plateaued, the weird meme that this is because
young men are going back to church, the claim that religion has become "
obsolete" for US culture as a whole, and the latest
Pew global religious landscape report, which swells the ranks of the unaffiliated by including most folks in China.
