Obligatory self-promotion tweet. I wrote a book about secularization. It's called, "The Nones: Where They Came From, Who They Are, and Where They Are Going" It's written for an educated (but not academic) audience. Lots of graphs. Please buy a copy!https://www.amazon.com/Nones-Where-They-Came-Going/dp/1506465854 …

Most churches are community based and as GenX gained enough wealth to buy a home they can actually participate in community

That is a pretty huge shift in Boomers lately. Feels like there is some work to be done there. If I were to put a couple of guesses it would be. 1) Much of the churches' response to vaccines/pandemic in general. 2) Many boomers now have grandkids at that questioning stage
-
Regarding 1, although I don't know any boomers who've expressed questioning their belief in God, I've had several express a significant drop in trust of their churches and leadership after the pandemic.

How could that many people say they have no doubts? Perhaps this is just a sign that successive generations are growing in honesty and self-awareness.

Education levels rise with each generation.

Looks like Gen X experimented with doubting during college but then were forced to join a church to get married there and keep grandma happy.

I’m pretty close to the mil/X crossover point, and I’d like to see more granular data.

Really, GenX, after all we’ve been through?

My thoughts exactly. I guess many of us were just expected to be obedient, and do what we were told. And why hellraisers like me questioning everything are still getting crap from my older family members.
