Many Americans today, especially the young, are sincerely and dedicatedly taking to spirituality. But interestingly, they often disassociate from 'religion,' and identify as 'spiritual but not religious.'
They are now so numerous that some census-takers and pollsters are tallying them as a distinct religious category.
Our July-August-September 2017 issue looked into this phenomenon through the eyes of a Duke University social scientist.
