Now look at the married vs others.

Ok, but this doesn't say what you say it does. If anything, it proves that people are dropping religion. It also still doesn't negate that the findings from Pew say that even older generations are dropping religion

Quote:This backs up my assertion that getting married is one of the main reasons people find religion.   This is due to a spouse typically.  

You said that to someone else. I cannot confirm nor deny whether or not this is true.

Quote:Also by age young people are alwags non religious as a whole but they mature in faith .... Whether it be getting their by spouse or other factors.    

Speculation not backed up by the source you're citing...

Quote:Your stance that young people are moving away from faith is flawed because traditionally young people have been less with their faith than older generations.    You would need to run this poll i. About 30 years and see whether your assertions are valid.    Until then it's all up in the air because it's hard to believe that Millennials will all of a sudden do what no other generation has done.    

It's not my stance, it's the findings of Pew.

Quote:Now where I get 50% is where we take 9.2 raised in Unaffiliated .... Then losing 4.3 ...    I stopped there to just look at the those who were raised unaffiliated.....  They are also losing people, which is consistent with raised religious .  Which could be just kids rebelling against what they were raised.

and yet they're gaining people... as your source has also said, while religion is losing people.


It's like you're arguing that the sky is red by posting a picture of a blue sky titled "the sky is ***** blue".
