Six Of One, Half-A-Dozen Of The Other

Survey: 72% of Millennials 'more spiritual than religious'
Most young adults today don't pray, don't worship and don't read the Bible, a major survey by a Christian research firm shows.

If the trends continue, "the Millennial generation will see churches closing as quickly as GM dealerships," says Thom Rainer, president of LifeWay Christian Resources. In the group's survey of 1,200 18- to 29-year-olds, 72% say they're "really more spiritual than religious."

Mushy Xians. Perhaps you'll understand better in a visual mode. Could we have slide four, please? Thanks.
One result of religio-mushiness is the less mushy doubling down on the zealotry.
While many members of "Generation Y" are drifting away from traditional Christian beliefs and practices, the director of LifeWay Research says he's encouraged by the 15% that are deeply committed, like these students praying together at one of LifeWay Christian Resources' annual Collegiate Weeks at the Glorieta Conference Center in New Mexico.

Bullshit either way. No one can define "spiritual" w/ any meaning better than the amorphous faith of relgion.

    My dad used the word "faggy" but he was also fond of saying he'd been "Jewed" out of this and that.

    One of our associates has used the phrase "Jew him down" (a good thing for the non-Jewed down); we'll bet he got it from his father.

    That being said, "faggy" works for us.
