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.

I believe I saw something similar (source: trust me bro) that said this happening because a lot of people are moving away from religious institutions rather than away from spirituality on the whole. I could have made that up, but if I didn’t that makes sense to my why you’d see an increase in people self reporting that way

Yeah, the study the segment's based on goes into it in Q4 and 5.
