None refers to a person without religious affiliation. It commonly describes those without any religious affiliation: atheists and others outside any organized religion, a light meal usually eaten around midday, notably when not as main meal of the day, and a break in play between the first and second sessions, which gives the term a broader and more practical sense than a single short definition would suggest. Depending on context, it can also point to the middle of the afternoon, normally between 2 and 4 pm, the divine office appointed to the hour, and the ninth hour of the day counted from sunrise; around three o'clock in the afternoon, so the category can cover literal uses, related ideas, and more figurative extensions of the same core meaning. Taken together, these meanings present None as a flexible theme rather than a narrowly technical label, covering the central idea people usually mean when they use the word while still leaving room for closely related senses that appear in real language. Additional shades of meaning include time of day when the sun is in its zenith; twelve o'clock in the day, midday, the corresponding time in the middle of the night; midnight, the highest point; culmination, the letter ن in the Arabic script, and to no extent, in no way, which reinforce how the category can stretch across adjacent but still recognizable uses of the same term.
