Study Says Young People More Religious Than Assumed
Three out of four young adults pray at least once a day, says a study across 21 nations by a German research agency, adding that GenY is more religious than is being assumed. Surveying 21,000 people in 21 nations, the study by the German Bertelsmann Foundation found that around 85% are religious and 14% are deeply so. Only 13% aren’t religious.
Martin Rieger, project leader of the Bertelsmann Foundation’s Religion Monitor said: “The assumption that religious belief is dwindling continuously from generation to generation is clearly refuted by our worldwide surveys – even in many industrialized nations.” The study found that 90% of young adults in countries like Nigeria and Guatemala pray at least once a day, while three out of four do the same in India, Morocco and Turkey. It also found that there are many more religious people in the US than in most other western countries. Fifty seven percent of young Americans pray daily, the study notes. However, there is difference between individual countries and denominations. Young adults in Islamic states are deeply religious whereas young Christians in Europe are not.

Religion is not only here to stay, but will increase. After all, Revelation 13:4 must be fulfilled: “And they worshiped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshiped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him?” That means they worship the devil and the one who is inspired by the devil, the Antichrist. The foundation for this type of worship is being established by the power of religion.
