520 |a Responses of persons in the Gallup survey of unchurched Americans who said they had a Protestant preference and met the criteria of being unchurched established by that survey were subjected to a cluster analysis technique on the basis of: (1) adherence to traditional beliefs, (2) the extent to which they felt the institutional church was relevant, and (3) the saliency of traditional religion in their lives. Three types were identified. The Estranged are much like the churched Protestants in terms of beliefs and saliency of religion, but they are not now active in a church. The Indifferent maintain adherence to traditional Christian beliefs, but do not have a sense of commitment or saliency. The Nominal Protestants neither maintain adherence to traditional Christian beliefs, nor claim personal saliency of religion in their lives. None of the three types considers the institutional church relevant or necessary. The responses of these three types were compared on the items which appeared in the Gallup data-set. In addition to variation in some items bearing on belief and saliency, the types show differences in attitude toward the institutional church and evaluation of it, toward the "new morality," local versus cosmopolitan orientation, and life satisfaction. They also differ in experiences of religious socialization, reasons for stopping participation in the institutional church, and remaining ties to the church. These differences, as well as some direct questions, indicate ways the unchurched could be contacted (or recontacted) by the church.
