Surveys indicate that Americans haven’t given up on religion, but support for organized religion is very limited, particularly among young people. Why?
I think there are three reasons. First, religion was for centuries the principal source of color in a grim, monochromatic workday world; today, everyone has an endless source of entertainment in his pocket. Second, Americans find religious rituals with origins in the distant past to be too lame and remote from their experience in the modern world. Third, Christianity is closely associated with angry Trump voters seeking revenge on the rest of America. Who wants to spend Sunday with people like that?
