Virginia’s adult population is approximately 6.83 million individuals. According to the Pew Research Center, around 28% of Virginians (or nearly 2 million residents) have no religious affiliation.

Among secular adults in Virginia, half (50%) are women, while 47% are men. Nearly one in four are under the age of 30, and about 14% are over the age of 65. Furthermore, the racial composition of secular voters reveals that four-fifths are white, while one in five are people of color.

Of the  4.51 million ballots cast in the 2024 Presidential Election, about 22%, or nearly one million, came from secular voters based on the AP/NORC VoteCast. Kamala Harris, the Democratic Party candidate, won the state’s Electoral College votes with the support of three-quarters (75%) of secular voters, compared with 23% who backed Donald Trump. Nearly seven in ten men and more than seven in ten women, as well as adults under and over 40, regardless of race, secular voters supported Harris in Virginia. Secular voters accounted for three out of every ten votes cast for Harris and just over one out of ten votes for Trump in the 2024 race.
