"Their numbers have more than doubled in a decade, to nearly 30 million. Organized as a religious denomination, they would trail only Catholics and Baptists in members.
They are the "nones," named for their response to a question in public opinion polls: "What is your religion, if any?"
Some nones are atheists, others agnostics, still others self-styled dabblers in a variety of faiths and philosophies. Despite their discomfort with organized religion, many consider themselves quite spiritual."

"Whatever the reason, nones grew from 8 percent of the U.S. population in 1990 to more than 14 percent in 2001.
That's the conclusion of religion experts who compared results of the National Survey of Religious Identification, conducted in 1990, and the American Religious Identification Survey, which in 2001 sought to update the earlier poll."

"Catharine Lamm has used three words to describe her religious skepticism: secular humanist, agnostic and atheist. "But the word atheist isn't that great," she said. "It's a negative word. It says I'm against something and that doesn't quite capture me."
She likes the potential of a new term -- "bright" -- coined to describe people with a naturalist as opposed to a supernaturalist world view. The word has gained popularity through a July op-ed piece in The New York Times arguing for its use."
