The Rise of the Nones by James Emery White

James Emery White in his book The Rise Of The Nones says that “the ARIS survey found that the nones nearly doubled from a 1990 survey to 2008, from 8.1 percent to 15 percent, making those who claimed no religion at all the third-largest defined constituency in the United States”. Let me stop and say that again, those who claim no religious affiliation are the third largest religious grouping in this country. Now you can’t tell me that this is God’s plan.

Team Workshop
