USA Today: Young adults 'less religious,' not necessarily 'more secular'

Interesting study from here:

Among Millennials:

•40% say religion is very important in their lives, similar to 39% of Boomers at the same ages.

•41% report praying daily, like 42% of Gen Xers as young adults.

•53% are "certain God exists;" 55% of Gen Xers were certain at the same ages.

It's too soon to tell what Millennials will say when they're older. However, the study finds that as people age, they are more likely to say religion is very important in their lives, and they pray more frequently.

In the late 1970s, when most Boomers were in their 20s or early 30s, 39% said religion was very important in their lives. Thirty years later, 60% of Boomers say so.

Studies don't tell the whole story, but it's good stuff to consider.
