Show Notes

We interview Dr. Ryan Burge, an associate professor of political science at Eastern Illinois University and and a pastor in the American Baptist denomination.

Dr. Burge has become a well-known authority on analyzing the rising trend of the religiously unaffiliated in America, the "nones." This group has become the largest single religious group in America today, and is only expected to increase.

Dr. Burge goes in-depth with statistics to explain who the nones are, where they come from, and where religion is going in America in the future. Which religious groups are increasing and which are decreasing? Dr. Burge explains all of this from statistical analysis. We also talked in depth about where religious groups will break out in the 2020 election.
