Thread: What drove young people away from religion?

Hello Friends,

More young people are moving away from religion.
Maybe they feel disconnection between them and religion or they don't have a belief in god.


Do you guys know why young people are moving away from religion?

You're right young people have difficulty to adopt the old traditions and rules and they feel disconnected to it.
I think it's in our elders hand to teach them in a simple way.

Obviously the traditional rules I guess, this should be the reason for someone to leave their religion even!

You're right some old traditional rules make our youngsters to stay away from religion because these rules restrict them,Which make think that the religion is stealing their freedom So they choose to unfollow the religion.

Very True, Current youngsters more into researching about god existence than believing in god,May be as you said they want logic in everything.

This is my thought,
They are toatally involved in machinic life and they are fulfilling their needs and also they don't have enough time to visit temples.
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.

As you said in our childhood most us are followed our religions, But when we become adults some of our generation getting away from the religions.That's what we discussed above.From the discussion we came to know some of the reasons for our youngsters lack of attachment/believe in religions.
