About this episode
A November 2015 Pew Research Center survey revealed that the United States is becoming less religious overall, and "especially the youngest Millennials, who have entered adulthood since the first Landscape Study was conducted {a few months earlier} - are far less religious than their elders."
Admittedly, these "nones" aren't necessarily atheists, and many may consider themselves "spiritual" on some level. But what's driving this exodus from the formal structures of religion, and what do these young people think and say about the often hugely religious climate they see all around them.
This show focuses on youth, how they view the world, and how their exit from the church is impacting the United States and the world.
