The Belief in God drops among Millennials


A new Pew poll tells us that young folks are not strong believers in Christ. The belief in God Almighty has fallen 15 points in the last five years.
Here's a little bit more info:
Pew, which has been studying the trend for 25 years, finds that just 68 percent of millennials in 2012 agree with the statement “I never doubt the existence of God.” That’s down from 76 percent in 2009 and 83 percent in 2007.

Among other generations, belief in God is high and has seen few changes in recent decades. Between 81 and 89 percent of older generations say they never doubt the existence of God, although the older the generation, the more likely they are to believe in God.

In 30 years, we could be very close to a un-God fearing country.

I kinda like God, but I grew up reading lots of mythology. :)
