A survey released by the Institute for Jewish and Community Research, "The Decline of Religious Identity in the United States," found a rise (16% up from less than 10%) in respondents who declined to identify with any particular faith. This "no-religion" group is now the third-largest in the nation, after Catholics, at 24 percent, and Baptists, at 17 percent, though it's unclear what "no religion" refers to: atheism, agnosticism, undefined "spirituality" or a generally ecumenical faith in God.
