nones

Nearly one in four American adults (23% of the U.S. adult population = 55 - 70MM people) including one in three Millennials self-identify among the growing number of "Nones" in North America, according to Pew Research. The "Nones" make up the burgeoning, religiously disaffiliated community, and their population increases every day. But why? Why are so many Americans-and even more adults in the United Kingdom-abandoning the religious traditions of their predecessors?

Drs. Jerry and Cristie Johnston are producing a documentary, television shows, digital curricula/teaching series, and currently writing a landmark book that answers the many questions posed by the "Nones" phenomenon and profiles the iconic, international advocates of atheism, secularism, sociology, philosophy, and Christian apologetics. The Johnstons are documenting the acute biblical illiteracy in North America that so closely resembles a far more advanced reality in Europe. In their over 100 filmed interviews to date, the Johnstons have listened to "Nones," "Dones," and "Deconversions" and the foremost leaders to discover what they really think about faith and science and much more. The documentary and ensuing television programs and digital products will include an emotional and informative expose of this seismic societal problem, clarify religious change agents, and prescribed thought-provoking remedies for change in their multi-year, original research that has taken them from Los Angeles to London.
