The ‘nones’ — those without any religious affiliation, though not necessarily atheist or agnostic — have overtaken Catholics as America’s largest religious identification.
More American voters than ever say they are not religious, making the religiously unaffiliated the nation’s biggest voting bloc by faith for the first time in a presidential election year. This marks a dramatic shift from just eight years ago, when the non-religious were roundly outnumbered by Catholics, white mainline Protestants and white evangelical Protestants.
