"Nones" as high as 30% of the population

[Troy Spiral (13)]

A growing body of evidence reveals a complex portrait of Americans who do not identify with a particular religious group. What research is increasingly showing is that "nones" are a dynamic group whose members cannot be simply characterized as either atheists or in other popular categories such as "unchurched believers" or "spiritual but not religious."

Which is, a group that is generally a conglomeration of all three, a term I've never heard used in regular conversation but is reported on fairly regularly and has been at least for the last 4-5 years.

Around here I think the "spiritual but not religious" is especially common.

I was pondering this due to a time magazine article this week, which I think put the number at 22% (or last week rather) but you cant direct link to TIME articles.
