Although highest in the West, religous belief drops in America, particularly among millennials

Some quotes from the article. The GOP is going to have to repackage its brand model in the next decade.

"The trend is most pronounced among young adults, with only half of those born from 1990 to 1996 absolutely certain of their belief in God, compared to 71 percent of the "silent generation," or those born from 1928 to 1945. Younger people also are less likely to pray daily, at 39 percent, compared to "silent generation" adults at 67 percent. Young adults are also much less likely to attend religious services, the survey found."

"The survey also found religious divides among the political parties, with those who are not religiously affiliated more likely to be Democrats, at 28 percent, compared to 14 percent of Republicans."

"About 38 percent of Republicans identify as evangelical Protestants - the largest religious group in the party, the survey found. Catholics make up 21 percent of each major political party.

Millennials worship their phones.

If people would just focus on the country and not sides and marketing of political parties, we'd be much better off.
The entire system is flawed.

Millennials know bullshit when they see it.

Think our ongoing crusade against Islam is partially responsible for declining faith numbers. Can't have gone unnoticed by US religious people that even the most violent terrorists profess to believe in God and unlike most are willing to kill and die for that belief. Raises some unavoidable questions for people whose faith is shaky. "Am I willing to kill and die for my faith? No." - "If God really exists why isn't he doing something about these people acting in his name so violently?"

Differences in numbers I think for younger and older though is gonna be about culture raised up in. 50 years ago you'd be chased out of town for questioning God or asking hard questions about it. Now that's fairly ubiquitos. If God isn't ever going to do anything, more and more are noticing that and abandoning the idea.

The legalization of gay marriage is the best thing that ever happened to the GOP, especially when it comes to millenials. Now that it's off the table, the GOP has one less thing to be hateful and bigoted about, which will give them more appeal among millenials.
