Half of young people report feeling disconnected from their religious backgrounds, according to a new report.
A new survey found that half of people ages 13 to 25 think that religious institutions care little for the issues that matter deeply to them, such as racial justice, gender equity, immigration rights, income inequality and gun control, and that may be driving a decline in membership for several denominations, reported the Wall Street Journal.
"I don't accept the teachings when it comes to discrimination," said Christian Camacho, a 22-year-old who grew up in a conservative Catholic family in Minneapolis. "I know a fair number of young people who don't go to church, not because they will be discriminated against — they just have no reason to go."
Churches should get with the times and stop preaching hate against LGBT people.
Keep preaching hate and you will lose people.
I have noticed when i last went to church, there are fewer people in the pews.
Probably if they started accepting LGBT people and stopped preaching hate then people would return to the church.
It's time for the churches to get with the times.
