| There is a
great deal of evidence to support that Millennials tend to be more
religious than previous generations. This will likely affect their
political point of view. Especially with the line between church and state
beginning to fade. Students are praying on high school athletic fields and
the President established an Office of Faith Based and Community
Initiatives in the White House. In addition to the relationship of Church
and State, we also want to look at the generation's attitude toward the
death penalty, abortion and other moral issues. |
| Increasingly
a strict definition of the separation of church and state (one which would
not allow any prayer in school or any association of the government with
religion) is being questioned by society and political leaders. On the
campaign trail and in the class rooms, religion is spoken about openly and
faith is considered as a solution to society's ills. |
|
| Religion is re-entering the
political debate with an intensity that hasn't been seen since the
Constitutional convention, and this generation will ultimately play a role
in determining the conflict's resolution. |

Please tell
us your thoughts about the generation's (& your personal) attitude
towards the separation of church
and state. If you have seen newspaper articles, or read
interesting stats, then forward them our way and we will be sure to
include them in the book.
If you
are a part of the Millennial Generation, tell us if you have any
experience with religion entering the class room, or tell us your thoughts
on the death penalty.
If you are
not a part of the Millennial Generation, tell us if you think youth are
more religious than you were at their age and why. |
