‘Nones’ now as big as evangelicals, Catholics in the US

This is not helping the future hope of the “Reign of Mary.” Those fathers believe in it’s future coming.” However, to me, us Traditionalist are that Reign of Mary.

In a shift that stands to impact both religion and politics, survey data suggests that the percentage of Americans who don’t affiliate with any specific religious tradition is now roughly the same as those who identify as evangelical or Catholic. STORY
