Why do the three major religions — Christianity, Islam and Judaism — not seem able to attract larger numbers of twenty to thirty year olds into their houses of worship.
I’ll save you a lot of research time.
Have priests, rabbis and imams start telling their parishioners that individuals can define for themselves how to practice their own connection with G.O.D. and within one generation we’ll see far more people who are active in various religious communities.
In reality though this kind of radical evolution won’t occur in organized religion because, as its name suggests, organized religion requires organizing people to think in similar pliant ways. And how — some people ask — can religious organizations allow their members to commune with G.O.D. in whichever way they desire and still be considered “organized”?
Did I mention $?
