Young Adults Less Religious

February 17, 2010 in Family, Influence, Leadership with 0 Comments

From a USA Today article published today….

Millennials are significantly more likely than young adults in earlier generations to say they don’t identify with any religious group. Among Millennials, 26% cite no religious identity, compared with 20% for most members of Generation X (born 1965-1980) at the same ages, and 13% for most Baby Boomers (born 1946-1964) at those ages.

Worship attendance is sliding steadily, too: 18% of Millennials say they attend worship nearly every week or more often, vs. 21% of Gen Xers when they were in their 20s and 26% of Boomers at those ages. (Cathy Lyn Grossman, author)

This is an incredible illustration of living too safe. The video is an older video of Francis Chan, but well worth the watch. Chan is the pastor of Conerstone Church in Simi Valley, California. He is also the author of Crazy Love and Forgotten God.
