You should deconvert from religion.

And I am miserable, but I want you to be miserable about this too.

And then the duns have just gotten over the whole thing.

And those two groups combined for about 40% of non-religious Americans.

So it's much more of a nuanced thing than like, oh, all nuns hate religion.

All nuns are atheists.

All nuns want nothing to do with faith.

Actually, a significant number of nuns do believe in God or a higher power at some level.

A lot of them say they're spiritual.

A lot of them have some sort of religious practices where they realize they're not.

Very few people are completely, you know, a spiritual and a religious.

It's more of a gradient than an off and on switch.

I think that's what we realize in doing all that work.

I think that people think that religion and spirituality run on different lines, right?

So I think a lot of people perceive that a lot of people who say they're very spiritual don't say they're very religious and vice versa.

But here's the big misconception.

Among all nuns, 25% said spirituality was very important to them, and 25% said it was not at all important to them.

Among the religious...

61% said spirituality was very important to them and less than 15% said it was not at all important to them.

So this idea that lots and lots of non-religious people are replacing religion with spirituality is actually not true.
