"Martin Scorsese's New Jesus Film: A Personal and Concise Take on Organized Religion"

Martin Scorsese is set to direct an 80-minute film about Jesus, aiming to present his teachings in a way that removes the negative associations with organized religion. Inspired by a novel by Japanese Catholic writer Shūsaku Endō, the film will focus on Jesus's core teachings without proselytizing and is set to be shot in 2024. Scorsese's previous works with religious themes include The Last Temptation of Christ and Silence, and the new project has pushed back another announced film adaptation.

The Rise of America's Nonreligious: A Diverse and Disenchanted Phenomenon

The rise of the nones, a diverse group of individuals who identify as atheists, agnostics, or "nothing in particular," is reshaping America's religious landscape. Many nones reject organized religion, its leaders, and its politics. They span various demographics and often practice their own form of spirituality. While some embrace traditional religious beliefs, others find meaning in nature, astrology, or energy in crystals. The nones are well-represented in every age group, particularly among young adults. Scholars express concern about the loss of communal support as people distance themselves from congregations, but many nones are happy to find community elsewhere.
