New Faith Statistics about Millennial Non-Christians Shows Not All Hope is Lost for Younger Generations

Lindsay Elizabeth : Jun 4, 2019  Faithwire.com

"Millennials are often believed to be disengaged in their faith, but this study shows that those Millennials who identify as Evangelicals are more engaged in their faith than other generations." -Rick Dunham

(Ventura, CA) — [Faithwire.com] An encouraging study was released by the Barna Group this past week, in which they shared that millennial-aged Americans who are not Christians show a greater interest in spirituality than older generations who are unbelievers. (Image: Pixabay)

In a study released on Tuesday, Barna Group released a research report called Reviving Evangelism that addressed evangelism in the United States. Among their findings included data on how Americans express their spirituality, and how hungry they are for a spiritual connection.

In the report, Barna found that 70 percent of non-Christian Millennials said that they have had at least one conversation about religion and their beliefs with a family member or close friend. When they asked the same question to older non-Christians, only 52 percent said that they had talked about religious beliefs with a family member or close friend.

In the same report, the group found that 64 percent of non-Christian Millennials said that they engaged in a conversation discussing religious beliefs with a Christian, while only 44 percent of older non-Christians did.

Barna also found that 64% of Millennial non-Christians reported having one or more conversations about their beliefs with a Christian, versus 44% for older non-Christians.

"Millennial non-Christians are much more likely to have had one or more conversations about faith than their older counterparts and are twice as likely to express personal interest in Christianity (26% vs. 16%)," explained Barna.

"They've also had much more personal experience with all kinds of evangelistic methods than older non-Christians, including through tracts (45% vs. 26%) or encounters with a person either at church (35% vs. 19%) or on the street (30% vs. 16%)."

The report, commissioned by Alpha USA, surveyed two groups of people. The first sample space was of 992 respondents who identified as Christians, while the second sample space was of 1,001 respondents who were not practicing Christians... Subscribe for free to Breaking Christian News here
