A new study from Pew Research finds that the religiously unaffiliated – a group comprised of atheists, agnostic and those who say their religion is “nothing in particular” – is now the largest cohort in the U.S. They’re more prevalent among American adults than Catholics (23%) or evangelical Protestants (24%).
Atheism is much more specific than what they consider to be, ‘none’.
Pew asked respondents what – if anything – they believe. The research organization found that Nones are not a uniform group.
Most Nones believe in God or another higher power, but very few attend any kind of religious service.
They aren’t all anti-religious. Most Nones say religion does some harm, but many also think it does some good. Most have more positive views of science than those who are religiously affiliated; however, they reject the idea that science can explain everything.
however, they reject the idea that science can explain everything.
I am an anti-theist and I reject that idea too, doesn’t mean I think religion can explain anything though. In fact I would go so far as to consider that deliberately obscure phrasing in the poll.

No. Not in this study.
Atheism is much more specific than what they consider to be, ‘none’.
TL;DR: The study is talking about agnostics, and grouping atheists with them.

Science can only explain things that can be measured and tested. Anything else is pure speculation.
Anyone who thinks science can explain everything, does not understand the scientific method.
