520 |a An increasing number of Americans now identify as "Nones," answering "none" when queried about their religious affiliation. In this book, the author explores the diverse, complex spiritual lives of Nones across generations and across categories of self-identification as "spiritual-but-not-religious," "atheist," "agnostic," "humanist," "just spiritual," and more. She opens a window into the lives of a broad cross-section of Nones, diverse with respect to age, gender, race, sexual orientation, and prior religious background. She allows Nones to speak for themselves, illuminating the processes by which they became None, the sources of information and inspiration that enrich their spiritual lives, the practices they find spiritually meaningful, how prayer functions in spiritual lives not centered on doctrinal beliefs, how morals and values are shaped outside of institutional religions, and how Nones approach the spiritual development of their own children. These stories are revealing about how religion is changing in America both for Nones and for the religiously affiliated family, friends, and neighbors with whom their lives are intertwined.--  |c From publisher's description.
