Official Selection — UNAFF International Documentary Festival 2026 Heathens Play Trailer

Over 80 million American adults
hide religious doubts or exaggerate their faith

Schnabel et al., Cornell University, 2024

Heathens follows five of them. Each has lost faith privately, painfully, and at real risk. Shaped by gospel music and the churches that raised them, they do not simply reject what they came from. They carry the music, beauty, and longing with them as they rebuild meaning on their own terms.

The Heathens recording session

The Voices of Heathens

At a secluded campground in the Blue Ridge Mountains, closeted heathens from around the nation gather once a year, many under pseudonyms and in secret from their families.

Meet the Heathens

The religious “Nones” in America are now 84 million strong and growing. Tens of millions identify as atheists, agnostics, skeptics and secular opponents of religion.
