Growing segments of society dubbed the Nones, the unchurched, and the Dones cite a disconnect between practices and creeds of established churches and their own spiritual needs. Yet, most of those disassociating themselves from church strongly affirm that they want and need an individual relationship to God, or the Divine, to live fully.
