A recent study showed that 1 in 4 young people do not associate with any organized religion.Read the full story here:
Atheism in millenials
As someone that was raised Southern Baptist
(I am now a recovering Southern Baptist), I can absolutely relate to the young folks in the survey.
The religious zealots I encountered while growing up certainly made me realize how crazy, and out of touch they really were!
The whole concept of "you're wrong, I'm right...and I'm better than you" is a huge turnoff.
The unfortunate thing is that the extreme religious zealot is still what we see too much of on television, and in politics.
Because, let's face it...crazy is good TV!
I really don't like organized religion. It makes me happy to see that more of our youth are coming to their senses.
