Decline of religion

[The Grand Nudger]

The majority of SBNRs are nones, twenty some odd percent identify as affiliated and in the us mostly christian SBNRs. About 20 percent of SBNRs identify as conservative, on the political end. Almost all SBNRs are under 50, and the unifying response between groups 1 and 2 SBNRs (non affiliated and affiliated) is a natural religion. Which is to say that traditional services, scriptures and prayer have been replaced with a set of spiritual practices and beliefs which find their affirmation and/or practice in natural places, interactions, and experiences*.

I can see how christian SBNRs find that their private spirituality doesn't interfere with their day to day life. It doesn't make the intolerable culture war demands that an activated maga christian's would be expected to. They don't have to trump the place up to keep the faith they can literally take a hike instead. It still compels them in the voting booth..tand you'd expect conservative christian SBNRs to vote along the lines of natural order/fiscal conservatism/tend and cultivate environmentalism.

*as the respondants understand nature and the contents of nature.....there's alot of contemporary orientalism quantum woo and superstition in this particular soup. The point is that the holder percieves them to be validated chiefly by nature, rather than scripture, community, or tradition.
