Religion has been around since the beginning of the
earth. There are hundreds of different
religions in the world today. Some were
started at the beginning some started as time went on. No matter when a religion was started, that religion
is still important to its people. These
days more and more people are diverting from the old traditional religions and
leading towards the term "nones".
This term describes a group of Americans that do not choose to be associated
with any religion. This term was brought
to us by the Pew Research Group, who conducted research on religion and the
present day religions. The research
presented by the Pew showed us that there is an increase in this group of
people who don’t believe or associate with a religion. From the background I grew up in this is very
eye opening to me as religion was a large part of my life and I always thought
it was to everyone. Not until college did
I see or learn of this other side or “nones” way of life. To me this is very interesting learning the
other side of the view on religion. The younger and younger these the generations get the less afficalated people are.
Below I posted a link to a web page describing and talking about the Pew research. There is a lot of interesting data presented here in the article. There are a few graphs and tables that show the numbers of people who affiliate with a religion and those that don't. The data really shows you the drastic change that is occurring in the US as of right now. This article presents the data very well and is very helpful in understanding what is going on in the US regarding religion in this present day and age.
