Godless in Cascadia

Godless in Cascadia: "By Knute Berger

The Pacific Northwest is known as the 'None Zone' for its high percentage of people who say they aren't affiliated with any religious group: nearly two-thirds. Twenty-five percent of people in Washington, Oregon and Alaska say they have no religion at all. The numbers are even higher in British Columbia. Nones are the largest 'religious' category in the region. And the numbers of the non-religious are growing here and elsewhere. In 1990, 8 percent of Americans claimed full non-religious None status. Today, it's around 15 percent."
