Just because someone chooses the secular/non-religious/agnostic/atheist column has nothing to do with belief. Most people don't consider themselves to fit in the other categories so they choose that one. If you broke it down more categories you have different numbers.

Hello,

What is being tagged as a "non-believer"? Those tha do not follow conventional or mainstream religious practices?

What about those that chose a solitary way of being in touch with nature and/or the divine?

I think some become disillusioned and find the set religion a bit too strict.

I don't attend church. Raised Catholic. Find the politics of the church contradicts in many ways what the faith is suppose to be about.

In some circles comes off to me that the organized Faith's seem more interested in protecting the organization then being open to other ways of viewing life.
Just my opinion and not all fall under this.

Some simply do not know for sure about God and whether there is one or not. So leave it open with no conclusion. May feel there is a presence that gives life, but may not call it God.

Beliefs and teachings seem to get mixed up in this modern age, atleast in the culture I live in. Christianity is still the main game in town, even with this there is division and those that are strict and those that are not. So, to me, this leads to a bit of confusion.

I still believe in the basics of being kind, compassionate, and helping out one another as best one can. The thing is how it gets organized and packaged to feed to the masses, seem a bit of turn off in some ways.

To each there own, but for those that chose the solitary life does not mean they are non-believers. Just may of had it with being told how to be and just find a way or ways to just be.

Just some thoughts on this. If one follows a religious practice no disrespect intended, just my out look on it and how it affects me in some ways.
