@Antifred Um, wow. Alright.
Leadership is the devil. Laws are the beast, and taxes are the mark of the beast. Got it.
Thanks for playing. Different meds might help but it's time to move along now.

And yet nones hold a religious stance, to not associate or practice in any religion.
Considering all the religions out there I consider it a profound view of theology even if the word itself (none) gives the vague impression of not committing to a theistic position. The growing number of people not wanting to participate in organized religion is very encouraging in my view.

@AtheistNews That's like saying someone who comments on pedophiles has a "pedophile stance" and therefore is a pedophile.

@Piece2YourPuzzle lol. No it isn't.
Having a pro or con stance on pedophiles does not make someone a pedophile in of itself and you know it. Oversimplifing it to that extent is juvenile and inaccurate.
The same goes with having a view on religion. It doesn't make one religious but it also doesn't take away their perspective about religion.
It sounds like you are saying that when a poll investigates a communities religious beliefs people without religion should be left out. That's nonsense. Atheists have believes about religion just like theists do. Believing in one less religion than a theist is still a stance or view about religion. Having that stance doesn't make me religious just like my views on pedophilia don't make me a pedophile. But just because I'm not a pedophile it doesn't make my views on that subject insignificant. The same goes for my views on theology. They are not insignificant just because I don't believe in one.

@AtheistNews I'm not saying anyone should be left our of the poll. I think there might be some confusion here. I want to make it clear that we both agree that "nones" aren't religious, or did you think they were? If you think they are then what I said stands. It seemed to me that you thought they were, but then said they weren't, and then said they were. I want to be clear. Either way, I still don't think atheists "believe" in one less religion.

The term is often used because even an atheist has a view about religion (not believing). Because of that religious view atheists do have a religious stance and demographic.

A none is someone that doesn't associate with any religion or church. Spiritual people are often still nones if they don't back some specific theology.

@SeaGreenEyez Yes, my inner skeptic doubted that it could really be true. Maybe someday...probably not in my lifetime. I agree that calling us 'irreligious' sounds like 'heretic' to me! ha Oh well. At least I know that when a demographic study comes out that shows more detailed and current information about this subject matter, I'll find it on this site before any other one.

@SeaGreenEyez There are a couple of encouraging things. One is the fact that the nones are unwilling to own up to any association with any church or organized religion and that that trend is growing. It may not go hand in hand that leaving the church will make people less superstitious but it's a start.
Also, the numbers are just now starting to climb significantly so my hope is politicly their influence will be greater than churches before long. The influence of churches over politics should drop as their numbers diminish and the nones irregardless (had to fit that word in somehow) if they still believe in supernatural things are a step away from stronger churches.
