Surveys show that Americans without a religious affiliation (which include 'nothing particular', agnostic, atheist) range around 21%[3], 23%[2], 25%[4], 31%[5][6], 34%[7] and 21%[8] of the population, with 'nothing in particulars' making up the majority of this demographic. Since the early 1990s, independent polls have shown the rapid growth of those without a religious affiliation.[9][10][2]
