One-Third Of American Young Adults Have No Religious Affiliation

By JacobSloan on October 15, 2012 in News 112

More from the latest Pew survey on faith — religiously devout Americans are dying off in droves, the New York Times writes:

Nearly one in five Americans say they are atheist, agnostic or “nothing in particular.” This is a significant jump from only five years ago, when adults who claimed “no religion” made up about 15 percent of the population [and] a seismic shift from 40 years ago, when about 7 percent of American adults said they had no religious affiliation.

Now, more than one-third of those ages 18 to 22 are religiously unaffiliated. These “younger millennials” are replacing older generations who remained far more involved with religion throughout their lives. “We really haven’t seen anything like this before,” said Gregory A. Smith, a senior researcher with the Pew Forum.

Religion, the opiate of the masses. Maybe our youth decided to give up this drug. It is, and always has been about control, at least on this side of the globe.

Had a delivery driver tell me the other day that he believed every word in the bible was true. I changed the subject before he started speaking in tongues. Every word… Just goes to show that if you don’t know your history you act like you were born yesterday!

  The one doesn’t follow from the other. In fact, I’ve actually never met a pentecostal, though I have met thousands of people who believe in biblical infallibility.
  
  I also doubt that most people who quote Marx on religion know their history, particularly in something so basic as the context of the quotation. Have you ever read Marx? Do you have the foggiest idea what he means by “opiate”? Because his meaning is rather different from yours. Granted, both of you are as condescending, but at least he goes about his condescension with a functioning intellect.
  - Nephilim1012
    
    Actually yes I have read it, understand his context and mine and stand by everything I said. And really do not see where you challenged anything I said. I have been studying religion and history for over 35 years but perhaps you are a better authority strictly on the basis of your being offended.
    
    It’s all about control, deal with it. Not only that but anyone who believes in the Bible’s “infallibility” is ignoring, either knowingly or out of complete ignorance, the Catholic origins of the present day version of this book. Nor are they aware of the much older inclusions which where adopted almost exclusively from older pagan religions.
    
    Opiate of the masses.
    
    But while we are doing this one-upmanship have you ever read the Maleus Malificarum?

      No, I have not, and, upon looking into it, I find that it is irrelevant. Priests have said stupid things in the past, and, up to this day, say stupid things.
      
      However, what Marx says is relevant. By opiate he means a painkiller, killing the pain caused by modern society. While Marx does think of it in terms of control (he thinks of everything in terms of control–no society, not even the eastern ones, escapes this), he doesn’t think of it in terms of addiction, which is what I gathered you were talking about in your post.
      
      Going back to what you said about religion, I’m not sure how the Catholic origins of the Bible have anything to do with it. Certainly, it poses a problem to protestants, but, being Catholic, I see no issue. Of course, Catholics are not, strictly speaking, a “People of the Book.” We believe in inerrancy, not infallibility.
      
      Nor do we see the world in this weird revisionist and logophobic way. By which I mean, we see time in a semi-cyclical way, and accept all four causes. You, on the other hand, have the worldview of a protestant, taken to its logical end. When you say that our practices are adopted “almost exclusively” from pagan practices, you are making the assumption, which seems to have worked out rather poorly from my viewpoint, that all causes are either material or efficient. Given that, you have answered your own question before asking it. Of course Christianity is false in your mind, for it is derivative, and can be nothing else, because only two of Aristotle’s causes are possible. With access to all four causes, I can explain the similarity between paganism and Christianity in terms of final causes.

The troubling part of the trend is that it isn’t just a move towards secularism – it’s an across-the-board decline in civic engagement. The decline of the church’s influence is fine with me – I just think something needed to fill the space in communities.

The world is probably headed towards more turmoil in the coming decades. I think people, generally, will come to regret the decline of community involvement.

  Well, on the upside, crime, divorce, unwanted pregnancy, abortions, drug use, and illiteracy rates will probably fall dramatically seeing as how all those things are higher among believers.

    I doubt it. Those are correlated with poverty. The US’s current social & economic policy trends are likely to exacerbate those problems.

        The misery index tends to lead the rise in crime – so one would expect the crime rate to begin to rise again in the short term. The graying of the US may dampen the effect though, since we’re demographically fairly different than the 1970s America where the misery index was very high. The elderly simply commit fewer crimes.
        
        Another mitigating factor in the current is the spike in incarceration rates since the late 1970s. The US imprisons fairly large swaths of its most vulnerable and poor populations throughout much of their youth.
        
        A third factor is that crime is under-reported by victims in the neighborhood of 30%. Police departments and politicians, with the rise of crime statistics and metrics, have a strong incentive to massage crime rates to make themselves look better. There’s a very strong incentive to downgrade crimes (which thereby reduces the crime rate) – for instance, gang graffiti, if even reported, can be marked down as a code violation and the building owner ordered to paint it over – or ignore it altogether.
        
        The decrease in teenage pregnancy and abortion has a clear correlating factor – a steady increase in the use of hormonal birth control among teen girls with about half of sexually active teenage girls using it according to the most recent data from the CDC.
        
        –
        
        My statement about the long term economic and social policy trends relates to increasing social pressures on vulnerable populations.
        
        The long term economic trend is that the US is losing its dominant position economically and is entering a long term decline.
        
        The long term social trend has been towards austerity on social programs – after decades of being painted as corrupt and in need of reform and being used as the first place to cut costs – is likely to accelerate as budgetary pressures grow.
        
        I don’t think religion and it’s long term trends are really going to matter, compared to other factors.

Perhaps “dying off” is a poor choice of words. Traditional Catholics, Mormons, and Muslims will one day rule the world, by virtue of populating it. Whether this is good or bad (though I am of the opinion that it is one third good), it nonetheless stands to reason that apples never really fall far from the tree–and the three groups mentioned do have a great number of apples per tree.

The Age of Pisces draws to a close, while Aquarius’ dawn is just on the horizon… (relatively) soon we won’t be seeing too many more Jesus fish on cars and merchandise. I was told by a New Ager once that I was “definitely an Indigo Child.” I waded through a sea of New Age bullshit online to find out what that meant, discovering that I indeed posses many “Indigo” traits, and also learned about “Crystal” children, more commonly known in mainstream nomenclature as the millennials. Most of the websites I looked at were made in the mid to late 90s,had slightly varying themes and occasionally conflicting stances, but all were consistent in mentioning common traits about Indigo and Crystal kids; they have no use and quite a disdain for conventional religion, traditional sexual classifications, and don’t really care for our current societal systems. We now have the statistics to back those claims. Perhaps the New Age crowd has been right all along… but even a broken clock is right twice a day. Those of the old guard religions are definitely shitting their pants and cursing their dying God(s) in grief, knowing that their age is over, and that the new, godless, crystal kids will be entrusted to take care of them in their old age… by collectively applying shovels to the back of their antiquated, obsolete-religion-loving-skulls.

Anton LaVey was almost correct when he proclaimed that all religions were coming around to his form of Satanism. I believe that those religions are truly dying, with many older members adopting Satanic (that’s the hedonistic type just in case you think I mean devil worship, which is really a form of Christianity) principles and acting accordingly, but really its the number of kids who seem to be BORN Satanists/Libertines/Crystal/whatever that is changing the game. There are still many children who follow traditional patterns of thought, belief, and behavior, but as Gregory A. Smith states in the article ” We really haven’t seen anything like this before,”

And Love Will Steer the Stars….

yeah but you go out of your way to try and be the lefty hero holding the racist banner. its really sad i cite a well known fact and the only word you hear is “racist” there’s no arguing with someone as self righteous as you. besides i thought you were against fascism ? cant get more fascist than islam

cite a fact including a link, and explain to me why that is worrisome.
nothing is more fascist than empire or neo-colonialism, you should know that, as a brit.

well i like computers. i like reading. i like tv. i like free speech. where ever islam goes these disappear. now idk where you live but in my country there has been a significant rise in crime and pushes to institute sharia law on the populace. several terrorist attacks commited by muslims and so on. if your home town slowly became a no go area for white black jewish or indian people im sure you would be concerned. islam / muslims ARE NOT A RACE I CANNOT BE RACIST HOW YOU NO UNDERSTAND THIS ?

What a load of rubbish. Where ever Islam goes, your right to do whatever it is you want to do disappears? What does that even mean? Who is going to force the UK to take up sharia law? Dude, get of the pot, it’s making you(((PaRaNoId)))

I’m interested in these terror attacks though, can’t have been that major.

absolute bastions of intellect and progressivism. not to mention “oliver” was the most popular name in the UK.
anglo-indians and mixed asians have been in the UK since at least the 1830s. thousands of mixed race people
running around the UK don’t even know they are mixed race. in fact london has one of fastest growing mixed race populations in the world. some neighboorhoods are 4% bi racial people. so what is REALLY the problem here? the UK colonised india/pakistan, annexed egypt and overthrew the gov’t of iran and you’re surprised people immigrate to the UK? being british does not mean “white” nor does it mean “anglo-saxon” or “celtic” (in fact fewer than 14% of all English people are of celtic descent).
