89% of #secular voters ages 18-29 say 🫥 to the Republican party. So all that news you hear about a spike in Republican white Christian nationalist young men? Sure, they’re out there. But they’re the extreme minority.

Despite #atheists and secularists historically being perceived as heavily male-dominated groups, younger generations are pretty evenly matched. While 50% of young #secular adults identify as men, 47% identify as women, and 3% identify as transgender and/or nonbinary.

#Atheist Rep. Farrah Chaichi was elected to the Oregon House of Reps in 2023. Her work with Amnesty Intl. inspired her to study criminal justice + political science. Seeking to make a bigger impact on human rights is what led her to run for (+ win) public office.

NEARLY HALF (48%) of all young adults in the U.S. identify as atheist, agnostic, or nothing in particular. Slay, secular queens. 💅 #secular #secularism #genz #secularvoter #atheist #agnostic #nonreligious (Source: 2022 Cooperative Election Study)

Young secular adults in America are a racially diverse bunch. ✊🏽✊🏿✊🏼✊🏻✊🏾 The racial demo of #secular voters ages 18-29 is very similar to the overall young adult population. We hope to see these young people engage in politics to ensure their growing numbers are represented + their voices are heard.

Among overall voters, 37% identify as conservative or very conservative, 33% as moderate, and 29% as liberal or very liberal. #Secular voters have a markedly different distribution, with 49% identifying as liberal, 34% as moderate, + 17% as conservative. thesecularvote.com/ideology-and...

TENS OF MILLIONS of American adults are #atheist, #agnostic, and nothing in particular when it comes to religious affiliation. This is nearly one-third of our nation's population.

Growing up in rural Hawaii as the proud daughter of a small-business-owning veteran and a social worker, #agnostic Minnesota Representative @athenahollins.bsky.social was first elected in 2020 + re-elected in 2022: thesecularvote.com/interview-wi...

#Secular folks are an increasingly huge percentage of the U.S. population and deserve to be represented in local, state, and federal elections and policies that reflect our values (values, keep in mind, that are shared by many folks who *are* religious).

Though, historically, there has been a pervasive statistic that the majority of secular folks are men, the gender breakdown is much more balanced now than in previous decades. While 50% of U.S. #secular adults identify as men, 48% identify as women, and 2% identify as transgender and/or nonbinary.

You’ll find that we at TSV don’t refer to #secular people as “nones.” (And it’s not because it sounds like “nuns” when you say it out loud—though we do get a kick out of that.) thesecularvote.com/why-we-dont-...

48% of young adults in the U.S. ages 18-29 identify as #secular. This is a massive percentage of our youngest generation of voters who will be helping to shape policy for decades to come, especially in the 2026 midterms.

Secular adults in America are a racially diverse bunch. ✊🏽✊🏿✊🏼✊🏻✊🏾 While the majority of #secular folks are white, secular numbers in communities of color are steadily rising, as the stigma of leaving religion gradually decreases + support increases for POC who face backlash for apostasy.

Nearly 65% of U.S. #secular adults identify their religious affiliation as “nothing in particular.” They may be #atheist, agnostic, spiritual, or have a faith belief that isn't tied to religious doctrine. ~17% specifically identify as atheist and ~17% as agnostic. Secular folks contain multitudes!

Since 1980, there have been 11 presidential elections. According to exit poll data, the majority of #secular voters have supported the Democratic Party candidate. This century, #Democrats have reached their highest levels of support from secular voters so far. thesecularvote.com/the-secular-...

In the 2024 election, 71% of #secular folks voted #Democrat + 27% voted Republican. As the largest religious demographic, it’s past time for politicians to take us for granted. We’re providing resources to help campaigns understand secular voters + appreciate our potential as a powerful voting bloc.

Is #secular spirituality actually “spiritual”? Our expert guest Dr. Ryan Cragun reveals a surprising statistic from @pewresearch.org about nonreligious peoples’ take on an afterlife.

Many thanks to @friendlyatheist.com for the plug! "We know what supernatural phenomena #nonreligious Americans do *not* believe in and what religious activities they do *not* engage in, we seek to understand what unifies #secular individuals as a community." www.friendlyatheist.com/p/the-secula...

We're The Secular Vote: The Go-To Resource on Secular Voters. ⚠️ Research + discourse about "nones" (people w/o religious affiliation) is too often influenced by religion. We aim to change that. As active members of the #secular community, we bring expertise + passion for accurate representation.
