Nones, the new religious denomination. USA Today reported "People with 'no religion' gaining on major denominations"
I know it is certainly true for me... Being told that I would go to hell for so many years did not help their cause! I would wager this is the case for many disillusioned with organized religion. It may be that people are tired of being led by church leaders that end up being hypocrites. Too many church scandals to mention. Don't get all worked up though, many still believe in god, according to USA Today 51% of 'Nones' still believe. Now if the Muslims were so disillusioned would we have fewer suicide bombers?
