None''s Story - Searching for Meaning Inside Christianity, Judaism, Buddhism, Islam

The rising population known as "nones" for its members' lack of religious affiliation is changing American society, politics, and culture. Corinna Nicolaou is a none, and in this layered narrative, she tours America's major traditional religions to see what, if anything, one might lack without God. Though she remains a devout none, Nicolaou's experiences reveal points of contact between the religious and the unaffiliated, suggesting nones may be radically revising the practice of faith in contemporary times.
