Why young Americans are detached from faith institutions

In a wide-ranging report earlier this year, the Pew Research Center found that more young Americans than ever before are not attached to a faith.

Their average age is 36, and "unaffiliateds" are growing in many different faiths. Pew estimates that they make up as much as 23 percent of the U.S. population.

MPR News' Kerri Miller looks at the growing crowd of "nones" and why they consider themselves unattached.
