You might be an apatheist if you identify as a none: non-believer, irreligious; or “spiritual but not religious” (SBNR), also known as “spiritual but not affiliated” (SBNA) , or “more spiritual than religious” (MSTR). Nearly a third of American adults are nones—the mellow center that holds society’s cookies together. The cookies focus on what separates them, while the center keeps what they have in common.
