The Rise of the Nones

Spirituality Matters with Rev Karla

In this episode, Rev Karla discusses a few reasons why some people have chosen to step away from organized religion. The latest data shows that a record-low number of Americans identify themselves with any religion at all. People are leaving church in order to separate themselves from the radical Christians. We are not "nondenominational," which is very different from being non-religious. We are the Nones– we don't identify with a religion, but that doesn't mean we aren't spiritually connected to the Divine.
