Published: June 7, 2021, midnight

b'My guest this week is Amy Rath, the host of the NoneLife podcast. NoneLife is dedicated to all those who check \\u201cNone of the above\\u201d for a religious category and who do not feel comfortable being categorized any other way. The podcast is inspiring us all to do good in the world and to live an ethical life. I\\u2019m Amy, and I\\u2019m a \\u201cnone.\\u201d A what?\\xa0 Well, it took a lot of searching for me to find this term, but it fits perfectly.\\xa0 A \\u201cnone\\u201d is someone who doesn\\u2019t belong to any particular religion.\\xa0 There are likely as many reasons for being a \\u201cnone\\u201d as there are individuals, so we\\u2019re a hard group to label.\\xa0 Nones might be atheists, agnostics, former-members-of religions, humanists, etc. etc. etc.
Amy grew up a dedicated Catholic and was \\u201call in.\\u201d In her late teens and early twenties she felt better \\u201cjust not believing in anything.\\u201d In 2019 she discovered the term \\u201cNone\\u201d as in \\u201cNone of the above\\u201d and had a sense of \\u201ccoming home.\\u201d \\u201cFinally there is a name for what I am.\\u201d She had found her people. Amy started the NoneLife podcast so that others could discover this sense of finding themselves sooner. She has become an important and inspiring voice for Nones the world over.
