15% of Americans say they have "no religion"--that is, not church affiliation. Most believe in God; 45% "strongly agree" that God exists and another 22% "somewhat agree." 22% of men between ages 18 and 29 report having "no religion." There is a small educational difference, with the college educated slightly more often reporting "no religion."<ref> Christopher McKnight Nichols, "Reconsidering the rise of 'No Religionists' in America," [http://blogs.ssrc.org/tif/2009/12/15/who-has-religion/ ''The Immanent Frame'' Dec. 2009]</ref>
