The Nones or "unaffiliated" are already the nation's second largest group. But they're far from a monolith, ranging from fiery atheists to "apatheists," or vaguely spiritual folks who have disconnected from denominational brands and apathetic about the whole business. What does it mean to the public square — and to voting patterns, which correlate closely to religious identity — when one in four Americans are unaware or uninterested in the religious distinctions of particular faiths?

Speakers: Daniel Cox, Director of Research, PRRI; Sarah Jones, Social Media Editor, The New Republic; Tom Krattenmaker, Communications Director at YDS; contributing writer USA Today, Yale Divinity School, USA Today Board of Contributors; Scott McConnell, Executive Director, LifeWay Research.
