The place of religion in the lives of 18-24 year olds is smaller than ever,
with politicians, brand names and celebrities having more influence than
religious figures in the day-to-day decisions of young people.
Additionally, the YouGov poll for The Sun showed the reputation of religion amongst young people is actually more negative than neutral: 41% agree that “religion is more often the cause of evil in the world” and only 14% say it is a cause for good.
The results of the YouGov poll showed parents had the biggest
influence on young people's lives
The 2011 Census showed religion was declining, with those identifying themselves as having no religion has increased by 10 percentage points from 15%, 7.7 million people, in 2001 to 25%, 14.1 million, last year.
Around 59% of the population described themselves as Christian and only a quarter reported having no religion. However amongst young people, the YouGov poll found only 25% believed in God.
This is all about schooling. When will Christian parents start to grasp that you cannot - nay, MUST not - entrust the bringing up of your children to a system which is inherently godless and corrupt?
If your area has no directly Christian school - and even the Church schools are often tainted - the join with others and START one!
