My first book was entitled The Nones: Where They Came From, Who They Are, and Where They Are Going. It was published—what feels like a lifetime ago—in 2021. I’m pretty proud of that little volume because it established my approach to thinking about non-religion in the United States. One of the points I make, which I hope will live on in scholarly discourse, is that the nones are not a homogenous mass of people. There are clear subgroups within this label that need to be understood with much more granularity.
