The Growing Nones
Are you aware of a trendy term applied to souls who proclaim to have no religious affiliations? The Nones? While Nones often say they identify with some kind of higher-power they shun historical big-box systems (religions, faiths, etc.). According to a growing body of research Nones are growing — quickly! (Try googling Nones to explore some Nones facts and figures.)
One search result caught my eye. Specifically? Mark L. Movsesian’s book review of Nonverts: The Making of Ex-Christian America by Stephen Bullivant. Professor Movsesian’s review — most insightful. Well rounded. Prescient as well?
Professor Movsesian highlights Professor Bullivant’s observation:
If current trends continue, American religion will be polarized between very committed believers and people who reject organized religion entirely. That’s not a recipe for a harmonious society.
Does Professor Bullivant’s hypothesis feel all to familiar? Given our current state of affairs we’re far from experiencing harmonious relationships on more issues than ever. Religious beliefs continue to rust the very harmony they seek and preach.
