The "Nones" are actually two different groups of people:
(1) Those with religious belief but no religious affiliation. They believe in God and/or an afterlife, but they don't participate in or identify with any organised religion.
(2) Those with neither religious belief nor affiliation. They say that there is no good reason to believe that God exists and that when we die we irreversibly cease to exist.
Both groups are growing, but group (1) is significantly bigger than group (2).
I'm not sure how helpful it really is to lump these two groups together.
