In our small age, My mother send me to temple for tuedays and fridays for the prayaers and we did bajanai on those days. But, Nowadays parents send their children for tution classes all the time.
This is may be the basic reason for moving away from their religion.
I want to say a contradiction opinion to you.
I saw a picture recently of nallur temple. Lot of childern doing bajanai on that photo and the caption said who said that future leaders are moving away from their religion. This picture is the evidence for the future generation are beleiving their religon and getting involved with their religion.

Yeah most of the young generation are taking part in the temple festivals , one of the major thing is the pooja's!

Yes I agree with this point, I believe in God and at the same time I love researching about the stories or myths about Hinduism and Christianity.

Same here! I am a firm believer of my religion but I never believe the myths in it. I also validate everything with science,research and actual facts.
