Approximately 30% of the population is "Unaffiliated" which includes atheists, agnostics and "nothing in particular."
So there are FAR more "unaffiliateds" or NON-religious than there are Jews, Muslims, Buddhists, Hindu, and "other faiths" combined. Yet these non-religious people should just be counted as "other" or "agnostic" since it would be a sin to think that "atheists" or "others" should even count? There are even FAR more unaffiliateds than there are Catholics... yet Catholics I assume get their own chaplain.
So who provides "spiritual" guidance or assistance for non-religious people in their time of need for just say... compassion? Or do they just not count anymore?
How about a dedicated NON-religious 'chaplain' or 'spiritual advisor' or 'assistant' for that big of a group??
