The LatiNone a blog chronicling the intersectionality of race and religion in American politics. During its original run from 2009-2012 the blog focused on exploring the religious diversity of the Latino community, with a particular focus on highlighting the experiences of the Nones (people with no religious affiliation).

“Resurrected” in 2015, the (new) LatiNone will continue to explore these issues but also offer commentary about the intersectionality of race and religion, particularly among communities of color, and about religion and politics in the United States.

The blog is still authored by Dr. Juhem Navarro-Rivera, who started it when he was a graduate student.
