43% of millennials 'don't know, don't care, don't believe' God exists: study

https://www.christianpost.com/news/millennials-dont-know-dont-care-dont-believe-god-exists.html

"The American Worldview Inventory 2021, a survey of the philosophy of life on American adults from Arizona Christian University, assessed the worldviews of four generations: millennials (born 1984-2002), Gen X (1965-1983), baby boomers (1946-1964) and builders (1927-1945).

Researchers found that among other recent generations, millennials have gone farther in cutting ties with traditional Christian views and normative biblical teaching.

For example, nearly half of all boomers believe that when they die, they will go to Heaven only because they confessed their sins and accepted Jesus as their Savior, compared to only 26% of Gen X and 16% of millennials.

A staggering 90% of builders believe you treat others as you want them to treat you, while less than half of millennials agree.

Additionally, 43% of millennials stated they either don't know, don't care or don't believe God exists compared to 28% of boomers, and 44% of millennials believe Satan is a real and influential, compared to 64% of boomers.

The study also found that overall, younger Americans are significantly more likely than the two previous generations to embrace horoscopes as a guide and Karma as a life principle, to see "getting even" with others as defensible, to accept evolution over creation, and to view owning property as fostering economic injustice.

On spiritual matters, Americans younger than 55 are far more likely to distrust the Bible and to believe God is uninvolved in people's lives.

Interestingly, a majority of Americans call themselves Christian, ranging from 57% of millennials to 83% of builders. "

Where are the parents?

Where WERE the parents?   Letting the TV set re-program their kids, while both of them were busy working to secure their "retirement".  Dump their youngest off at daycare, this program and that, so they'd have more time to do adult things, instead of parenting things.

It is so difficult to raise a moral family, who has some semblance of faith in God these days.  Anyone who decides they wish to raise their children in a Christian home has been fighting an uphill battle for decades.

IMO, this "departure from the faith" is confirmation, we are in the last days, the Lord is returning soon.

This "survey" is not at all surprising. If you read the book of Revelation, it clearly points out that humans are corrupt and will do what the devil wants rather than God. "None are righteous no not one..." The book of Revelation also tells us that there will only be a small remnant of believers who are raptured before the tribulation. In other words, things WILL get bad.

I thought the quote summed up the millennials.

Since 43% don't believe in God but somehow 44% believe in Satan this statement hits them dead on.

I cannot understand, why believing in EVIL is easier - than believing in a Good, Wise, Loving Creator.

Reminds me of those trucks with the big sticker, "No FEAR" or "Fear this" on the back windows... never got that either.

Believing in evil allows you to not be responsible for your own actions...

The Devil made me do it.

Bishop Sheen, one smart cookie.

When it came time for one of my all-time favorite actors to change his name for Hollywood, he chose this Bishop's last name because he admired him so much.

Thus, Ramón Antonio Gerardo Estévez became:

Martin Sheen.
