Secular Voters
in the US

These insights help illustrate the significant presence and influence of secular voters across various demographics and regions in the US.

The data for this map comes from the 2022 Cooperative Election Study. The CES is one of the most important studies of elections and politics in the United States. It has a sample of over 60,000 respondents across all 50 states. In the case of some states, the sample is not large enough to provide accurate estimates of the secular population. The term N/A is used to indicate that the data are not available.

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.

How often do you update your research?

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. If there’s something missing you’d like to flag, drop us a line at info@thesecularvote.com.

What is the mission of The Secular Vote?

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.

How is The Secular Vote funded?

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.
