why are younger people less religion

Question 1

how do young people view the mainstream religous organisation

Answer 1

unatractive

Question 2

how they find services to be

Answer 2

boring, repetitive and old-fashioned, full of old people, and out-of-touch with the styles and attitudes of younger people.

Question 3

what are the controversies

Answer 3

issues like abortion, contraception, the ordination of women priests and bishops, gay priests and gay rights, sex before marriage and so on seem bizarre to many young people, and alien to the values they hold.

Question 4

RELIGION IS UNATTRACTIVE TO THE YOUNG

Answer 4

Christocentric – this does not reflect the experiences of EM young people in Britain who tend to be more religious. This can’t be generalized to Christianity globally. Pentecostal churches continue to attract younger members e.g. Nick Jonas wore a purity ring as a symbol of his Christian faith and commitment to ‘no sex before marriage.’
