Millennials turn to faith amid pandemic, but are disconnected from biblical truth: Survey
But the millennial generation — those born between 1981 and 1996 — was the “least closely connected to biblical Christianity before the pandemic, and that connection was made even weaker” by the end of the pandemic, states the study by the Cultural Research Center at Arizona Christian University.
What’s more, the study found among millennials a 6% decrease in personal reading and Bible study, and a 7% drop in the belief that God is the basis of truth. Meanwhile, members of Generation X — aged 39 to 57 years old — reported declining belief in God creating humans, founding the basis for trust and being the omniscient, omnipotent ruler of the universe. The decline in belief was mirrored in Gen X’s less-frequent Bible reading, church attendance, confession of personal sin and worship.
Among the groups surveyed, people older than 76 “demonstrated the greatest degree of spiritual stability.” The so-called Elders “maintained the highest biblical worldview incidence of any generation,” Mr.Churches need to adopt “fresh ideas and approaches” in making biblical Christianity “relevant to younger Americans,” the evangelical researcher said.
