Meanwhile, the “nones” in the United States are at 28%. That’s more than any other group. When do they get some representation instead of constantly having to put up with xtian bullshit and their constant chest-thumping? npr.org/…/religious-nones-are-now-the-largest-sin… Of course, when xtians loooove to talk about “Judeo-Christian” whatever, they are almost always being disingenuous. That almost goes without saying. Jews are about 2.5% of the population; it’s almost expected they are thrown a bone in such discourse and then mostly ignored. What is absolutely stunning to me is that the 28% is ignored, almost constantly. And for a while, they were growing at nearly 1% per year, while xtians were dwindling about 1% per year…and yet, all we get to hear is about what the xtians want, how politicians can pander to these whiners even more, etc.

The reason for that, IMO, is that the “none” people are usually in the camp of “I don’t practice any religion” vs “I despise every religion”; so it becomes like having a vegetarian option in a menu, it is good for the vegetarians and should not offend any reasonable omnivore. The problem of course is the unfairness you point out, added to the fact that most religious people that get involved in these political fights are not in the “I am happy there is a vegetarian option for me”, instead they are usually in the camp of “I am a vegetarian therefore YOU should not eat meat” PS: the vegetarian vs omnivore comparison is just for examples, I know eating meat is bad for the environment and we should all reduce/eliminate it.

The rates of new nones is probably increasing, but there’s a ton of be fruitful and multiply xians out there who are trying to breed the nones out. And it’s starting to work
