The Modern Religious Debate Lost Its Audience
About this episode
Dr. Nathan Jacobs explores the rise of the religiously unaffiliated and their complex beliefs in the first part of a three-part series.
In this episode, Dr. Nathan Jacobs explores the rise of the religiously unaffiliated, a group that has grown dramatically over the past two decades. Drawing from his research, interviews, and the documentary, Becoming Truly Human, he examines the beliefs, intuitions, and spiritual instincts that shape this rapidly expanding demographic. Far from simple atheism, the world of the “nones” is complex, morally serious, and often deeply spiritual. This lecture begins a three-part series unpacking who they are, what they believe, and how meaningful dialogue might be possible. This is part 1 of 3 on the religiously unaffiliated, or "nones".
