American Nones: The Profile of the No Religion PopulationOne of the most widely noted findings from the American Religious Identification Survey (ARIS 2008), which was released in March 2009, was the substantial increase in the No Religion segment of the U.S. population, whom we designate as “Nones.” The Nones increased from 8.1% of the U.S. adult population in 1990 to 15% in 2008 and from 14 to 34 million adults. Their numbers far exceed the combined total of all the non-Christian religious groups in the U.S. (PDF document, 29 pages) Published by American Religious Identification Survey (ARIS) American Religious Identification Survey (ARIS)
