* "Nones" is an unclear category. [17] [18] It is a heterogenous group of the not religious and intermittently religious. [19] Researchers argue that most of the "Nones" should be considered "unchurched", rather than objectively nonreligious; [18] [20] [21] [22] especially since most "Nones" do hold some religious-spiritual beliefs and a notable amount participate in behaviors. [18] [20] [23] [24] For example, 72% of American "Nones" believe in God or a Higher Power. [25]
