A spiritual awakening is stirring among young people in the West, according to a steady stream of survey data.

In February, the Pew Research Center released a report showing that the decade-long decline in Americans identifying as Christian has leveled off. But new studies show that the downward trend is now in full reverse, with the engine driving the change occurring among Generation Z and millennials.

Or maybe the younger population in the western U.S. has a lower percentage of people who hate "acting white".

Our church is half young people now. Two years ago was only greyhairs.

The Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, plus your bible is all you need.

AVOID “organized religion”. All they want is your money and your time.

As a bonus, they misinform you about everything.

Priests, Ministers, Pastors, Reverends, and lay people are just PEOPLE. They are no closer to God than you are. They only know what they have been brainwashed to know and their own “made up” ideas.

They may mumble in tongues, raise their hands in the air, and pretend to be all holy, but are just sinners like the rest of us. Actually WORSE because they exalt themselves above we peons and pretend to be holier than thou. They aren’t.

God can not be fooled, God shall not be mocked.
