Etymology: From Middle English none, noon, non (“not one”), from Old English nān (“not one, not any, none”), from Proto-West Germanic *nain, from Proto-Germanic *nainaz (“none, nought, nothing”), equivalent to ne (“not”) + one. (Regarding the different phonological development of only and one, see the note in one.)
Cognate with Scots nane (“none”), Saterland Frisian naan, neen (“no, not any, none”), West Frisian neen & gjin (“no, none”), Dutch neen & geen (“no, none”), Low German nēn, neen, keen (“no, none, no one”), German nein & kein (“no, none”), Latin nōn (“not”).

examples: Both the religiously dis-identified ("nones") and the religiously committed report mystical experiences.
Stable nones, that is, people who report in both years that they have no religious affiliation, are, in fact, much less religious
we have grouped people into nones (no religion), Jews, Catholics, mainline Protestants, and evangelical protestants.
So the “nones” are those three groups together: atheist, agnostic, nothing in particular. That group has grown from 5 percent of America in 1972 to about 30 percent of America today.
