Frequently Asked
Questions

What is a secular voter?

We use the word “secular” as a catchall for voters who are unaffiliated with religion and use “secular” and “nonreligious” interchangeably. You may have seen this demographic referred to as “nones”—learn more about why we intentionally choose not to use “nones” here. We also don’t use atheist, humanist, freethinker, or other nontheist labels to describe this demographic because while the folks who use these labels account for a substantial number of the people who make up the secular cohort, secular voters are incredibly diverse in belief backgrounds and identity.

We strive to keep The Secular Vote up to date on all recent, publicly available data on the secular vote, accompanied by our expert analysis to help you understand the finer truths and nuances behind the numbers and the headlines. That said, this project is a labor of love, so we may occasionally miss some of the latest findings or studies that may not be widely distributed.

Our mission is to promote accurate and authentic representation of the secular vote. Often public narratives about secular voters are biased, inaccurate, and told through the lens of religion—even by organizations and people you might consider to be secular or secular-friendly. Learn more about how The Secular Vote came to be here.

Through the sweat, blood, and tears of our co-founders, Dr. Juhem Navarro-Rivera and Sarah M. Levin. You can learn more about them here, and chip in to support their work here.
