Those issues include racial justice, gender equity, immigration rights, income inequality and gun control. Springtide tracks the views of American teens and young adults.

For several years, people (especially youth) have been unplugging from many of life's major institutions: Church, government, employer, marriage...
No church is perfect, as churches are composed of human beings. Certainly very easy to find cases of hypocrisy or whatever you want to look for. Yet I find my church highly beneficial. Just like working out, afterwards I’m always glad I went. Today was exactly that.

Is religion supposed to ape society? Or is it supposed proclaim truth, which doesn’t change?
I can think of a lot of other reasons for the disconnect.
If only there was a source of absolute truth that held the facts ... maybe a collection of scriptures inspired by the Lord to lead us ...

That's because young people today don't want to be classified at all, for fear of being called a racist, homophobic, transphobic, white supremacist or any other derogatory thing. Today's world is pushing us away from traditional religion and into a 'hiding' spirituality.
