Few Millenials Interested in Religion, Study Finds

Millenials, those born between 1980 and 2000, are not anti-Christian or anti-religion, but they are, in general, just not interested in religion, says a new book based on a survey of members of this generation.

An apathetic attitude toward religious and spiritual matters is common among members of this generation, according to The Millennials by Thom Rainer, president and CEO of LifeWay Christian Research, and his son Jess, a Millenial born in 1985. Members of this generation are likely to care less about spiritual matters than those from previous generations, the Rainers wrote.

That's likely because their parents knew about the bible, but hid it under the tables while this Millenial generation was growing up, result? This Millenial generation probably has no clue the bible even exists, much less our Lord Jesus Christ. And, of course, all the draconian brainwashing going on in our public schools, and it doesn't help too that 99% of "evangelists" on television are money-making scam artists.

Yes... this generation does not have the privilege we had (us older folk) but there's a move of God that He is doing NOW and it had nothing to do with the generation we are born into ... It's what the Bible says and it has everything to do with the fact that we are in the last days, and prophecy is being fulfilled .. and nothing can stop it ... not even unbelief ... here is one of many videos where this type of move of God is proving that He is fulfilling His Word ... this is how it all is going to unfold... just as He said it would in His Word ... but

First we have all the things happening right before our eyes .. and now we have evidence of His Will for His people showing openly to all nations.. just as He desired it to be ... watch these and check out the related videos by this guy (Messer)..

Watch Out, Pastors: Millennials Are Fact-Checking Your Sermons

Survey studies how young churchgoers are using technology.
 
 

Young churchgoers may be turning to YouVersion rather than their pew Bible during the Sunday sermon. Or they may be skeptically Googling what their pastor just said.
 
Earlier this week, Barna Group released the results of "what happens when the unique spiritual characteristics and technological trends among Millennials collide?"
 
Their top four findings:
 
1) Read Scripture on a cell phone or online: 70 percent of practicing Christian millennials, vs. 34 percent of all millennials.
 
2) Search for spiritual content online: 59 percent of practicing Christian millennials, vs. 30 percent of all millennials.
 
3) Watch online videos about faith or spirituality: 54 percent of practicing Christian millennials, vs. 31 percent of all millennials.
 
4) Research a church, temple, or synagogue online: 56 percent of practicing Christian millennials, vs. 34 percent of all millennials.
 
But the most interesting finding: Nearly 4 out of 10 practicing Christian millennials are fact-checking their pastor's sermons. Notes Barna:
 

The one-way communication from pulpit to pew is not how Millennials experience faith. By nature of digital connectedness, Millennial life is interactive. For many of them, faith is interactive as well—whether their churches are ready for it or not. It's an ongoing conversation, and it's all happening on their computers, tablets and smart phones. What's more, many of them bring their devices with them to church. Now with the ability to fact-check at their fingertips, Millennials aren't taking the teaching of faith leaders for granted. In fact, 14% of Millennials say they search to verify something a faith leader has said. A striking 38% of practicing Christian Millennials say the same.

It is striking, strikingly low. Less than 4 out of 10 are bothering to try the spirits? Scripture confirmed true again. "My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge:".

If people are reading the Word, of course it's good. But if they are reading falsehoods, it does them no good and leads them away from the truth, so out of that 38%, what percent are reading the KJB? A small portion I'd say simply because of the chosen demographics they use to manage the poll results.
